Aim: How do we find the area of regular polygons?

Area of a regular polygon- The are of a regular polygon is n (number of sides) times a (apothem) times s (side length) divided by 2 (nas 1/2).







Fo example if a (apothem) is 6 cm long and the side (s) is 5 cm long the area of this hexagon would be
5 times 6 times 6, which equals 180 and then you divide 180 by 2. The are of this hexagon would then be 90 cm squared.




What would be the area of a pentagon with an apothem of 7 and a side length of 8?
