    Calculate the total perimeter of a pentagonal isolation ward to determine maximum patient capacity for infection control, given the length of one wall section in meters. The isolation ward is perfectly pentagonal in shape, with all sides being equal in length, and the perimeter calculation will be used to establish safe distancing protocols for infectious disease control.
