Calculating Distance around a Polygon Quick
Check
2.5 cm
Tanya likes to take walks around the pentagonal
garden at her local park. The garden on the left has
congruent sides.
2.5 cm
2.5 cm
If Tanya starts at one vertex of the pentagon and walks
all the way around the garden, how far has she walked
in total?
2.5 cm
2.5 cm

12.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Each side of the pentagonal  garden has a length of 2.5 cm.

A pentagon has 5 sides.

Since the garden has congruent sides, all its lengths are equal.

Therefore:

Distance Walked by Tanya

= 5 X 2.5

=12.5cm

Tanya has walked 12.5cm in total.

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .
