5x=250

For any regular pentagon the length of a side(S) is S=P/5 where P is the perimeter.
So if the perimeter is 250 then the sides are 50 inches each.

The length of the side of a regular polygon is always the perimeter divided by the number of sides. In this case, that means...
length = 250/5, or 50 inches.

If it is a regular pentagon, all the sides measure the same and it has 5 sides so:
5x=250 --> x=250/5--> x=50
Hope it helps!!

Call the length of each side of the pentagon x.
A regular pentagon has 5 sides which are equal, so you divide 250 by 5 to get the length of one side.
x=250/5

5 x n = 250
250/5=n
