The area of a heptagon inscribed in a circle with a radius of 1 inch is approximately 3.63 square inches.

A 7-sided figure is also known as a heptagon.

We can use the area formula of a regular polygon inscribed in a circle to find the area of the heptagon with a radius of 1:

Area of a regular polygon = n * r^2 * sin(2π/n) / 2

Where:

The number of sides = n

The radius of the circle = r.

Plugging in the given values:

The area of a heptagon = 7 * 1^2 * sin(2π/7) / 2

The area of a heptagon ≈ 3.6339 = 3.63 in²

Thus, we can conclude that the area of a 7-sided figure or heptagon inscribed in a circle with a radius of 1 inch is approximately 3.63 square inches.
