Find the area of a regular pentagon with a side length of 14 and an apothem of 22.
well let me explain how do you find the Area of Regular Polygons and the apothem
the area The area of any Regular Polygon is given by the formula: Area = (a x p)/2, where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter of the polygon. Apothem is the line segment from the center of a regular polygon to the midpoint of a side. Perimeter can be found by multiplying the side length with the number of sides in the polygon. 2 Along with the side length, if the length of the apothem is also directly given, then the finding the area of such a polygon is no more than a cake walk. Simply plug in the values of a and p in the formula and get the area. For example, consider finding the area of a regular hexagon (6 sides) of side length 10 units and apothem measuring 5sqrt(3) units. 3 Along with the side length, if the length of the apothem is not directly given then it can be calculated using the following formula: a = (s/2) x cot(1800/n), where a is the length of the apothem, s is the side length, and n is the number of sides in the polygon. As an example, consider finding the area of a regular nonagon (9 sides) of side length 5 units.Find the apothem Find the Area of Regular Polygons Find the perimeter Find the Area of Regular Polygons Find the area using the formula mentioned in Step 1 above.
