Answer:

813.75

Explanation:

area of a regular polygon = side length × # of sides × apothem × 1/2

here side length = 15 , # of sides = 7 ( a heptagon has 7 sides ) and apothem = 15.5

so area = 15 × 7 × 15.5 × 1/2

==> multiply 15 by 7 by 15.5

area = 1627.5 × 1/2

==> divide 1627.5 by 2

area = 813.75
