use the pythagorean theorem and multiplication

(correct answer on edg)

The approximate area of the regular decagon rounded to the nearest tenth is 547.3 inches²

What is a regular decagon?

Regular decagons are polygon with 10 sides and are equiangular. The sides' lengths are equal. Therefore,

length = 9.3 unit

radius = 15 units

Area of the decagon = 1 / 2 ap

where

a = apothem

p = perimeter

Therefore, using Pythagoras theorem lets find apothem

a² + 9.3² = 15²

a² = 225 - 86.49

a = √138.51

a = 11.7690271476

a = 11.80

Therefore,

p = 10 × 9.3 = 93 units

Area of the decagon = 1 / 2 × 11.76 ×  93

Area of the decagon = 1094.517 / 2

Area of the decagon = 547.2585 inches²

Area of the decagon = 547.3 inches²
