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

That's a bad story. :c

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

A = (ap)/2

37.2 = (3.2*p)/2

37.2*2 = 3.2p

keep going to solve for p

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

once you have the perimeter p, use it to find the side length

s = p/n

s = p/5

anonymous · Answer

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.
