What best describes the area of a polygon

Mathematics
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The area of any regular polygon is given by the formula: Area = (a x p)/2, where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter of the polygon. Plug the values of a and p in the formula and get the area. As an example, let's use a hexagon (6 sides) with a side (s) length of 10.

The area of a polygon is the two-dimensional set of all points surrounded by the sides of the polygon.

If you're looking for an equation, it varies based on the number of sides and the shape of the polygon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Apothem

A regular polygon is equilateral (it has equal sides) and equiangular (it has equal angles). To find the area of a regular polygon, you use an apothem — a segment that joins the polygon’s center to the midpoint of any side and that is perpendicular to that side (segment HM in the following figure is an apothem).

Answer:

<h3>             The true statement is the first:</h3><h2>         Measure of angle A = 20 degrees</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measure of the interior angles in a triangle is 180°

m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°

(2x)° + (5x)° + (11x)° = 180°

   (18x)° = 180°

       x = 10

A = (2×10)° = 20°     {<u>the first statement is true}</u>

B = (5×10)° = 50°      {the second statement is false}

C = (11×10)° = 110°

m∠A + m∠B = 20° + 50° = 70° ≠ 90°   {the third statement is false}

m∠A + m∠C = 20° + 110° = 130° ≠ 120°   {the fourth statement is false}
