Question

if the side length and apothem of a regular polygon are doubled, how will the perimeter and area change?

Answer 1

This is a drawing of the polygon before the measurements were doubled

Answer 2

Do you remember the area of a polygon given the apothem and the side length?

Answer 3

Hello

Did you get the answer?

Answer 4

Area = 1/2 * Apothem * perimeter

perimeter = n*(side length) n=# of sides

Answer 5

SInce they gave you numbers, calculate each, then double the lengths, and calculate them again, and compair

Answer 6

Area = 1/2 *Apothem * [n*(side length)]

Answer 7

if you replace Apothem with 2*Apothem, and Side Length by 2*(side length)

the area will have 2*2 = 4 times the original area

Answer 8

If the side length is doubled, the perimeter will also double since

Perimeter = n *(side length)

replace with 2* side length

2*Perimeter = 2*n*side length

Answer 9

just put the numbers in
