" The area of a regular n-gon with side length s is half the product of the apothem a and the perimeter P, so A = 1/2 aP , or A = 1,2 a *ns."

triciaal · Answer

the apothem is the height of a triangle between the center and two consecutive vertices of the polygon.

triciaal · Answer

I really believe you have 3 parts to the question 
find the length s when 1) n = 3
2) n = 4 and 3) n = 6 in each case the area, A = 36

@sissyedgar can you explain your answer?
