Medal and Fan!!!
What is the area of a regular pentagon with sides of lengths 13 and an apothem of length 8.95 in square units?

Answer 1

Just add the side lingth and you should get the porimeter and that should help you from there.

Answer 2

The area of a regular polygon can be found with this formula:

A = (1/2) *a*p where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter of the regular polygon.

Answer 3

A pentagon has 5 sides and a regular pentagon of side 13 has perimeter 13*5.

Area = (1/2) * ( 8.95) * (13 * 5) = ?
