A sign in a store window has the shape of a regular nonagon (9-sided figure). The sign has an apothem length of 40 cm and a side length of 29 cm. What is its area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just like the last one, but with 9 sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 40*20 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no my bad it would be 40 *9 then i would divide 20 by 2 40*9=360 20/2=10 then times 360*10= 3600

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right? @AnswerMyQuestions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply 1/2 to the apothem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok it would be 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, and we need to find the perimeter, so multiply the side length to 9, since it has 9 sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok 20*9=180

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AnswerMyQuestions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, the side length isn't 20...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im really confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be 12 @AnswerMyQuestions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer to the question would it be 12?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the perimeter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

29?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the perimeter is adding up all the sides, so just multiply 29 x 9 to get the perimeter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok you are all confusing me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

261

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, and multiply 20 to that to get your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

261*20=5220

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup! :)
