A regular decagon with a radius of 15 the length of one side measures 9.3 units. What is the approximate area of the regular decagon rounded to the nearest tenth ?

Respuesta :

The approximate area of the regular decagon rounded to the nearest tenth will be 663.4 square units.

Explanation

Radius[tex](r)[/tex] of the regular decagon is 15 units and the length of one side[tex](s)[/tex] is 9.3 units.

Formula for the Area of regular decagon [tex]=\frac{1}{2}\times Perimeter \times Apothem[/tex]

Formula for finding the length of apothem[tex](a)= r*sin(72)[/tex]

So, the length of apothem will be:  [tex]15sin(72)[/tex] units

and the perimeter will be:  [tex]10s= 10*9.3=93[/tex] units

Thus, the area of the regular decagon [tex]=\frac{1}{2}\times 93 \times 15sin(72)=663.361.... \approx 663.4[/tex] square units.
