Ms. O'Brien is decorating a bulletin board in her classroom. She started with a regular pentagon in the top left corner of the board but then decided to move the pentagon to the bottom right hand corner, as shown below.
If the base of the pentagon measured 15 cm when it was placed in the top left corner, what will the base of the pentagon measure when placed in the bottom right corner?

Since Ms. O'Brien moved the pentagon from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, the base of the pentagon will remain the same length. Therefore, the base of the pentagon will still measure 15 cm when placed in the bottom right corner.
