A regular heptagon has a radius of approximately 27.87 cm and the length of each side is 24.18 cm. What is the approximate area

of the heptagon rounded to the nearest whole number? Recall that a heptagon is a polygon with 7 sides.

If you know the side length, you don't need the radius to calculate the area.  The area for any regular polygon is:

A(n,s)=(ns^2)/(4tan(180/n)), where n=number of sides and s=length of sides.

The above is derived by dividing the polygon into n triangles...anyway, in this case:

A=(7*<span>24.18^2)/(4tan(180/7)

A=</span>1023.1767/tan(180/7)

A=2124.65 cm^2 (to nearest one-hundredth)

Answer:

2124.65\text{ cm}^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a regular heptagon has a radius of approximately 27.87 cm and the length of each side is 24.18 cm.      

We will use area of a heptagon formula to find the area of our given heptagon.    

\text{Area of heptagon}=\frac{7}{4}*a^2*cot(\frac{180}{7}), where, a represents each side of heptagon.

Upon substituting a=24.18 cm we will get,

\text{Area of heptagon}=\frac{7}{4}*\text{(24.18 cm)}^2*cot(\frac{180}{7})

\text{Area of heptagon}=\frac{7}{4}*584.6724\text{ cm}^2*2.0765213965692558

\text{Area of heptagon}=7*146.1681\text{ cm}^2*2.0765213965692558

\text{Area of heptagon}=2124.648310021\text{ cm}^2\approx 2124.65\text{ cm}^2

Therefore, area of our given heptagon will be approximately 2124.65\text{ cm}^2.

The first blank is "division" and the second blank is "multiplying"

12 / (3) = 4

5 x 3 = 15

15 + 4 = 19
