Question

Identify the area of a regular decagon with side length 2 m rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

A ≈ 30.8 m2

Explanation:

Answer 2

Area = 14.8

Explanation:

Area = 5/2 + a^2*sqrt(5 + 2 sqrt(5) )

This formula given the side length, calculates the area.

a = 2

Area = 2.5 + 2^2 * sqrt(5 + 2*sqrt(5) )

Area = 2.5 + 4 * sqrt(5 + 2*2.236)

Area = 2.5 + 4* sqrt(5+ 4.4721)

Area = 2.5 + 4*sqrt(9.4721)

Area = 2.5 + 4*3.0776

Area = 2.5 + 12.3107

Area = 14.8107
