More information
Holly draws a line of connected regular pentagons like this:
She continues the pattern until she has drawn 204 pentagons. The perimeter of each pentagon is 5. What is the perimeter of her line of pentagons?
Show answer
Hide answer
The two pentagons at the end of the pattern each contribute 4 units to the permimeter. The remaining 202 pentagons each contribute 3 units to the perimeter. This gives a total perimeter of 2×4+202×3=
614
