A regular polygon with exterior angle of 45° is redrawn using a scale 1 : 5. If the actual length of the sides of the regular polygon is 10cm, calculate the perimeter of the scale drawing of the regular polygon.​

16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

"regular polygon" means all sides and angles are the same.

the sum of all exterior angles must be 360 degrees.

so, how often do 45 fit into 360 ?

2 times in 90, which in turn fit 4 times into 360, so 8 times.

the polygon has 8 corners and 8 sides.

each side is originally 10cm

so the original perimeter is 8×10 = 80 cm

now, every side is reduced to 1/5th of the original size, this also reduces the perimeter by the same factor.

=> perimeter = 80×(1/5) = 80/5 = 16 x cm

control :

applying the scaling factor of 1/5th to every side transforms every side from 10 cm to 2 cm.

we still have 8 sides.

perimeter = 8 × 2 = 16 cm

correct
