area = (1/2) apothem x perimeter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the perimeter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no clue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you find the perimeter by adding up the length of each side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since each side is 24 ft, and there are 8 sides, what is the perimeter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and each side is 24?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it 720

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, 24 x 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

192?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area = (1/2) apothem x perimeter. now plug it into that formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5,760
