A polygon has 20 sides, the lengths of which starting from the smallest side are in A.P. If the perimeter of the polygon is 2600 cm and the length of the largest side 12 times that of the Smallest, then, the length of the smallest side and the common difference of the A.P. are
From the given data,
No of sides n = 20
Perimeter of the polygon i.e, sum of the total sides s = 2600
Let us consider smallest side be a
Largest side is 12 times that of the smallest side
∴ largest side = 12 a
By using sum of A.P formula, we get
Largest side = a + (n - 1) d = 12 a
Sum = n/2 × [2a + (n - 1)d] = n/2 × [ a + a + (n - 1)d] = n/2 × [a + 12a]
s = n/2 × (13a)
By substituting the value of s = 2600 and n = 20 ,we get
⇒ 2600 = 20/2 × (13a)
⇒ 2600 = 10 (13a)
⇒ 260 = 13 a
⇒ smallest side a = 20 cm and largest side 12a = 12 × 20 = 240 cm
We know that largest side = a + (n - 1)d = 12a = 240
⇒ 240 = 20 + (20 - 1)d
⇒ 220 = 19 d
⇒ d = 220/19 = 11.57 cm
