Find the area of a regularpolygon with 5 sides that has aside length of 6 inches and anapothem of 9 inches. Area = ?

SOLUTION
Write out the formula
[tex]\text{area of regular polygon=}\frac{A\text{ }\times P}{2}[/tex]where A= apothem and P= perimeter of the regular polygon
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=9in \\ P=6(5)=30in \\ \text{perimeter of the regular polygon is sum of all the lenght} \\ \text{the number of sides }\times the\text{ lenght of a side } \end{gathered}[/tex]The area of the regular polygon is
[tex]\frac{9\times30}{2}=9\times15=135in^2[/tex]
