Find the area of the regular
pentagon.
5.5 cm
8 cm

Answer:
Area = 110 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the area of a regular pentagon by finding the area of one of the triangles created by its central angle and multiplying it by 5.
1. Use the formula for the area of a triangle to find the area of the triangle formed by its central angle.
[tex]A = \frac{1}{2} bh\\\\A = \frac{1}{2}8(5.5)\\\\A = \frac{1}{2}44\\\\A = 22[/tex]
2. Multiply this area by 5 to get the area of the entire pentagon.
A = 22(5)
A = 110
