Question

Find the area of the shaded region in the polygon below.

Answer 1

35

Explanation:

I multiply 3 and 7 that give 35

Answer 2

Explanation:

The area of a pentagon given the radius is

Area = (5/2)r^2 * sin(72º)

r = 7

Area = (5/2)*7^2 * sin(72)

Area = 122.5 * 0.95106

Area = 116.5

=============

r = 5

Area = (5/2) * 5^2 * sin(72)

Area = 59.4

Area of the shaded area = 116.5 - 59.4

Area of the shaded area = 57.1
