OpenStudy (habbster):

formula= 1/2 x (perimeter) x (apothem)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's the apothem? :)

OpenStudy (habbster):

the one that is perpendicular to on side

OpenStudy (habbster):

on = one*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 27.6 x 28.7 ?

OpenStudy (habbster):

((27.6 x 7) x 28.7) divided by 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (habbster):

(27.6)(7)= the perimeter

OpenStudy (habbster):

1/2 (perimeter)(apothem) substitute the value to the formula
