what is the area of a regular pentagon with a side of 12 in. Round to the answer to the nearest tenth. (wouldn't it be 247.7)

What do you mean by "regular pentagon?" I'd suggest you draw such a pentagon. Label the sides. Now divide this "regular pentagon with side length 12" into 5 "pie slices." Think about how you would calculate or measure the central angle of a typical pie slice. How would you use this info to determine the area of one "pie slice?"
