Formula to find the area of a regular polygon is Area=1/2(apothem)(perimeter)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

apothem????

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

I decided to simplify the problem before I got to work, So I found out the perimeter.. 7x8=56 Soo now I need to solve from here... 1/2(apothem)(56) =26(apothem) apothem=a =26a NOW Area=26a

OpenStudy (karatechopper):

So I need help finding the Apothem. Yes, @wio apothem.
