Answer: 701

Explanation:

A heptagon has 7 sides, therfore a regular heptagon will have 7 equal sides

n = 7 (number of sides)

s = 13.9 (length of each sides of the heptagon)

r = 14.4 (The apothem)

The area of the regular heptagon can be calculated by:

Area = ½ n × s × r

Area = ½ × 7 × 13.9 × 14.4

Area = 700.56 square units

To the nearest whole number, will be:

Area = 701 square units
