Consider a regular pentagon, which is a five-sided polygon with all sides and angles equal. If the length of each side of the regular pentagon is 6 cm, what is the perimeter of the pentagon?
Recall that the perimeter of a polygon can be calculated by summing the lengths of all its sides. For a regular pentagon, as all sides are equal, the perimeter can be calculated using the formula:
$$ ext{Perimeter} = ext{Number of sides} imes ext{Length of one side}$$
