We can see that each side of this hectagon are 8inches of eachother

prince1342 · Answer

Yet the measure of what we are trying to find, only goes by half way. So we take half of 8, 4

sagewilson · Answer

So the Apothem would be 4?

prince1342 · Answer

No but we can use 4 to plug in the formula! $$apothem	=	  s 2	 \tan 	   	  180 n  	 $$
S=4  while n=2 so plug this in and calculate

sagewilson · Answer

okay. 8*2 tan 180*2

16 tan 360. I forget, what do I do with "Tan".
