Q-A1.NS.22
Step 1: Understand the question and note down the known values
Step 2: Make an equations for the given information.
NOTE: Write the equivalent term of the arithmetic sequence and equate
to the given term to form an equation.
Write the sum of the n terms formula and equate it with the
appropriate values
EXAMPLE: The longest side of the polygon has length 6 cm
a + 15d = 6
The perimeter of the polygon is 72 cm
n/2 [2a + (n − 1)d] = 8 (2a + 15d) = 72 (since n = 16)
Step 3: Solve these equations(linear equations) to find the unknown values
Step 4: In this question shorter length is the starting side. So first side is nothing but a value of "a".
