Chapter 3.1, Problem 50E

Be sure that you have done Exercise 49 first.

(a) Draw a sketch of a figure with five sides of equal length. Write a “shortcut” rule (a formula) for finding the perimeter of this shape.

Chapter 3.1, Problem 50E, Be sure that you have done Exercise 49 first. a Draw a sketch of a figure with five sides of equal , example 1

(b) Draw a sketch of a figure with six sides of equal length. Write a formula for finding the perimeter of the shape.

Chapter 3.1, Problem 50E, Be sure that you have done Exercise 49 first. a Draw a sketch of a figure with five sides of equal , example 2

(c) Write a formula for finding the perimeter of a shape with 10 sides of equal length.

(d) Write a formula for finding the perimeter of a shape with n sides of equal length.

49. In an equilateral triangle, all sides have the same length.

(a) Draw sketches of four different equilateral triangles, label the lengths of the sides, and find the perimeters.

(b) Write a “shortcut” rule (a formula) for finding the perimeter of an equilateral triangle.

(c) Will your formula work for other kinds of triangles that are not equilateral? Explain why or why not.

Polygon with three sides, three angles, and three vertices. Based on the properties of each side, the types of triangles are scalene (triangle with three three different lengths and three different angles), isosceles (angle with two equal sides and two equal angles), and equilateral (three equal sides and three angles of 60°). The types of angles are acute (less than 90°); obtuse (greater than 90°); and right (90°).
