Question

Find the area of a pentagon with an apothem of 7 centimeters

Answer 1

If the side length of the pentagon is 19.27 centimeters. Then the area of the pentagon will be 337.225 square cm.

What is a polygon?

The polygon is a 2D geometry that has a finite number of sides. And all the sides of the polygon are straight lines connected to each other side by side.

The apothem of the pentagon is 7 cm.

Then the area of the pentagon will be

$\rm Area = 5 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times apothem \times side \ length$

The side length of the pentagon will be

$\rm Side \ length = 2 \times 7 \tan 54^o \\\\Side \ length = 19.27\ cm$

Then the area will be

$\rm Area = 5 \times \dfrac{1}{2} \times 7\times 19.27\\\\Area = 337.225$
