Finding the AREA of Regular Polygons Using the Apothem and the Side Length
Apothem • The apothem is the segment from the center of the polygon and perpendicular to a side of the polygon. Apothem
Property of Regular Polygons • Every regular polygon may be divided into n number of congruent triangles, and a side length of s. Observe the octagon below. The height of each triangle is the apothem of the polygon. AΔ = b*h*1/2 = s*a*1/2
Formula • Therefore, the area formula for any regular polygon, where a = apothem, s = side length, and n = the number of sides: A = (s*a*1/2) * n
Example • Find the area of a regular pentagon if its apothem is 3cm and the side length is 4.4cm. (3 * 4.4 * ½) * 5 = 33cm2 Try p. 427, #1-3, 5, 7
