Consider the triangle shown below.
The sum of the length of its sides is called the perimeter. Here, the perimeter of our triangle is
The perimeter of the triangle shown below is What is the perimeter of the triangle if
From the diagram, we can see that is an equilateral triangle.
We're told that the perimeter of is and since all sides have equal length, each side must have a length of
So now we know that and we have enough information to compute the perimeter of the triangle
Therefore, the perimeter of is

Suppose we have a quadrilateral as shown below and it is known that and What is the perimeter of the quadrilateral?
Remember that the perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the measures of all its sides. So, we can simply calculate
In a pentagon , the measures of the sides are and What is the perimeter of the pentagon?
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the measures of all its sides. So, we can simply calculate

Let's take a look at the polygons depicted below and find their perimeters.
From the picture, we conclude that polygons I, II and III all have a perimeter of while polygon IV has a perimeter of
Polygons that have the same perimeter are called isoperimetric. So I, II and III are isoperimetric polygons.
A regular pentagon has the same perimeter as an equilateral triangle whose side is Find the length of the side of the pentagon.
Since all the sides of an equilateral triangle are equal, its perimeter is
Let be the side of the pentagon. We know that our polygons have equal perimeters. Therefore,
So, the length of the side is
