Question

Help me with story problem
A regular pentagon has an apothem of 3.2 m and and area of 37.2 m. What is the length of one side of the pentagon?

Answer 1

OK. How far did you get? What parts of this so you understand or not understand?

Answer 2

That's a bad story. :c

Answer 3

A = (ap)/2

37.2 = (3.2*p)/2

37.2*2 = 3.2p

keep going to solve for p

Answer 4

once you have the perimeter p, use it to find the side length

s = p/n

s = p/5

Answer 5

The area of a regular polygon can be found by doing:
\(\frac{1}{2}\text{apothem}*\text{perimeter}\)
See if you can use that to find the perimeter.

Answer 6

Got the answer guy THX
