Question
A regular pentagon of each side 12 cm has same perimeter as that of a regular hexagon. Find the length of each side of the hexagon.
Solution
Perimeter of regular pentagon = 5 x length of the side
= 5 x 12 cm = 60 cm
Clearly, perimeter of the given pentagon = 60 cm
⇒ 6 x side of hexagon = 60 cm 60
⇒ side of hexagon = `60/6` cm = 10 cm
