  2. Recall that a regular polygon is a polygon that is both equilateral and equiangular.

  3. The center of a regular polygonisA radius of a regular polygonis

  4. An apothem of a regular polygon is a segment from the center perpendicular to a side.An apothem also _______the side of a regular polygon. bisects

  5. The area of any regular n-gon can be found by dividing the regular polygon into n congruent triangles. This is done by drawing the radii of the regular polygon.A reg polygon = area of 1 triangle times the number of triangles.

  6. So the formula for the area of a regular polygon is

  7. Examples: Find the (exact) area of each regular polygon.

  8. Examples: Find the (exact) area of each regular polygon.

  9. Examples: Find the (exact) area of each regular polygon.

  10. Examples: Find the (exact) area of each regular polygon.
