Can you find a perimeter of a regular polygon if you only know the meaurement of one side?
Only if you know what kind of polygon you have. If you know that you have a hexagon and one side is 1 cm, the perimeter is 6 cm. You only have to know the length of one side, since a regular polygon has equal sides. Perimeter or a regular polygon is the length of each side times the number of sides. You need to know both pieces to find the perimeter. ■
How does one find the perimeter of a polygon?
If there is regular polygon(having equal sides), then perimeter is L*N where L is length of side and N is no. of sides. If polygon is not regular then may Perimeter is equal to sum of all sides, if size of each side is known.
Each side of a regular polygon is 2.5 cm in length and the perimeter of the same polygon is 12.5 cms Find the number of sides of the polygon?
There are 5 sides (a pentagon). The perimeter is the length of one side times the number of sides. x * 2.5 = 12.5 and x is 5
Do you add or multiply to find to primiter?
It depends. If the shape is a regular polygon (square, pentagon etc), multiply the number of sides by the length of one side. If it's an irregular polygon, add the lengths of each side together to find the perimeter.
What is the area of a regular polygon if the radius is 8 cm?
The area of a regular polygon with n sides is the half of the product of its perimeter and the apothem. So that you do not have enough information to find the area of the polygon (for example how many sides it has, or the side length).
How do you find the permeter of a polygon?
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the length of each of its sides. If the polygon is a regular polygon the you can calculate the perimeter as [number of sides] *[the length of one side]
What is a formula to find the perimeter of a regular polygon?
The answer depends on what information you have about the regular polygon. You need to know, or be able to derive, the number of sides (n) and the length of each side (L). Then the perimeter is n*L units of length.

What is the measure of each central angle in a 12-sided regular polygon?
This figure is a regular 12-sided polygon. Find m<4
The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 144 degrees Find the number of sides of the regular polygon?
It will have 10 equal sides
What is the Perimeter of a regular polygon?
The formula used to find the area of any regular polygon is A = 1/2 a P where the lower case a stands for the length of the apothem and the uppercase P stands for the perimeter of the polygon.

It depends. If the shape is a regular polygon (square, pentagon etc), multiply the number of sides by the length of one side. If it's an irregular polygon, add the lengths of each side together to find the perimeter.
The measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 18 degrees Find the number of sides of the regular polygon?
360/18 = 20 sides
If the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 171 find the number of sides in the polygon?
40 sides
What is the measure of each angle in a 12 sided polygon?
This figure is a regular 12-sided polygon. Find m<4
