Question

What is the area of the regular polygon

Answer 1

To find the area of aregular polygon, you use an apothem — a segment that joins the polygon's center to the midpoint of any side and that is perpendicular to that side

Answer 2

A regular polygon is equilateral (it has equal sides) and equiangular (it has equal angles). To find the area of a regular polygon, you use an apothem — a segment that joins the polygon's center to the midpoint of any side and that is perpendicular to that side (segment HM in the following figure is an apothem).
