Answer: 67.7ft²

Explanation:

Note that a heptagon has 7 sides.

The area of a heptagon is given as:

= 1/2 × nsr

where,

n = number of sides = 7

s = length of side = 4.3ft

r = apothem= 4.5ft

Area of the heptagon = ½nsr

= ½ × 7 × 4.3 × 4.5

= 135.45/2

= 67.7ft²

Therefore, the area of the heptagon is 67.7ft²
