Find the area of a regular pentagon with a side of 6 ft. Give the answer to the nearest tenth. (1 point) a.123.9 ft2 b.49.5 ft2 c.61.9 ft2 d.12.4 ft2
ok iam not sure how to do that
Which part you are not sure?
everything iam sorry i really dont understand this problem
Just start from the beginning. How many sides are there in a pentagon?
6 right
Nope, 6 is hexagon. Try again~
5 iam mean
Correct, so a regular pentagon is a 5-sides polygon which has equal sides and equal interior angle. Agree?
*angles
yes i agree
Can you draw that polygon using the draw button now?
iam sorry i cant really draw a 5 sided one

Got it?

Which part you don't understand so far??
nothing iam with you 100 %
It's given that each side is 6 cm |dw:1344052675853:dw| Any problems?
no iam find
Have you learnt how to find sum of angles of polygon?
no geo is very new to me
Hmm... Basically, a polygon with n sides can be divided into (n-2) triangles. LIke this: |dw:1344052943281:dw| There are 5 sides and it can be divided into (5-2 = 3) triangles. Got it so far?
