The Pentagon shown is a regular pentagon, so each side has the same length. The perimeter of the pentagon is 62.5 centimeters. What is the value of x.

Let one side be x.

In the regular pentagon:

Perimeter = 5 × side

=> 62.5 cm = 5x

=> 62.5cm/5 = x

=> 12.5 cm = x

So, 1 side is of length 12.5 cm
