  2. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Warm Up Find the unknown side lengths in each special right triangle. 1. a 30°-60°-90° triangle with hypotenuse 2 ft 2. a 45°-45°-90° triangle with leg length 4 in. 3. a 30°-60°-90° triangle with longer leg length 3m

  3. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Objectives Develop and apply the formula for the area of a regular polygon.

  4. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Vocabulary Apothem Center of a Polygon Radius of a Polygon central angle of a regular polygon

  5. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons The center of a regular polygonis equidistant from the vertices. The apothemis the distance from the center to a side. A central angle of a regular polygonhas its vertex at the center, and its sides pass through consecutive vertices. Each central angle measure of a regular n-gon is

  8. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Finding the Area of Regular Polygons Regular pentagon DEFGH has a center C, apothem BC, and central angle DCE.

  9. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons area of each triangle: total area of the polygon: To find the area of a regular n-gon with side length s and apothem a, divide it into n congruent isosceles triangles. The perimeter is P = ns.

  10. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons

  11. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Step 1 Draw the heptagon. Draw an isosceles triangle with its vertex at the center of the heptagon. The central angle is . Example 3A: Finding the Area of a Regular Polygon Find the area of regular heptagon with side length 2 ft to the nearest tenth. Draw a segment that bisects the central angle and the side of the polygon to form a right triangle.

  12. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons The tangent of an angle is . opp. leg adj. leg Example 3A Continued Step 2 Use the tangent ratio to find the apothem. Solve for a.

  13. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Example 3A Continued Step 3 Use the apothem and the given side length to find the area. Area of a regular polygon The perimeter is 2(7) = 14ft. Simplify. Round to the nearest tenth. A 14.5 ft2

  14. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Remember! The tangent of an angle in a right triangle is the ratio of the opposite leg length to the adjacent leg length. See page 525.

  15. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Step 1 Draw the dodecagon. Draw an isosceles triangle with its vertex at the center of the dodecagon. The central angle is . Example 3B: Finding the Area of a Regular Polygon Find the area of a regular dodecagon with side length 5 cm to the nearest tenth. Draw a segment that bisects the central angle and the side of the polygon to form a right triangle.

  16. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons The tangent of an angle is . opp. leg adj. leg Example 3B Continued Step 2 Use the tangent ratio to find the apothem. Solve for a.

  17. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Example 3B Continued Step 3 Use the apothem and the given side length to find the area. Area of a regular polygon The perimeter is 5(12) = 60 ft. Simplify. Round to the nearest tenth. A 279.9 cm2

  18. 11.2 Areas of Regular Polygons Step 1 Draw the octagon. Draw an isosceles triangle with its vertex at the center of the octagon. The central angle is . Check It Out! Example 3 Find the area of a regular octagon with a side length of 4 cm. Draw a segment that bisects the central angle and the side of the polygon to form a right triangle.
