3. The ratio of the side lengths of a pentagon is 1:3:4:6:9, and the perimeter is 115 yds. What is the measure of the 3rd longest side?

20 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

By the given ratio, the side measurements are 1x, 3x, 4x, 6x, and 9x

We are given the perimeter of this shape is 115. Therefore, 1x+3x+4x+6x+9x=115.

We can solve that for x, so we can find each side measurements' numerical value.

(1+3+4+6+9)x=115

(23)x=115

x=115/23

x=5

So the side measurements are:

1x=1(5)=5

3x=3(5)=15

4x=4(5)=20

6x=6(5)=30

9x=9(5)=45

The third longest sife is 20 yards.
