Answer: Area of the polygon is 58.1

Explanation:

The given polygon is a pentagon. The apotherm is the perpendicular line from the midpoint of the octagon to the base of one of its sides.

The formula for determining the area of a regular polygon is expressed as

Area = a² × n × tan 180/n

Where n represents the number of sides of the polygon.

n = 5

Apotherm = 4

Therefore,

Area = 4² × 5 × tan(180/5)

Area = 80 × tan 36

Area = 58.1
