the 8 side figure below is divided into 5 congruent squares. the total area of the 5 squares is 125 square inches. what is the perimeter, in inches, of the figure?

The area of each square = 125/5 = 25 sq ins so each side of these squares = 5 inches. 12 of these sides are on the perimeter of the figure so the perimeter
