Area of Polygon
Question 1: What is a regular polygon?
Answer:
A polygon whose all sides and angles are equal in measure is a regular polygon.
Question 2: What do you mean by the area of a polygon?
Answer:
The region that is enclosed by a polygon is the measure of its area. It is expressed in square units.
Question 3: How many equilateral triangles can a regular hexagon be divided into?
Answer:
A regular hexagon is a hexagon with all side equal. It can be divided into six equilateral triangles.
Question 4: What is the area of a polygon with n sides?
Answer:
Area = (n × l × apothem) / 2
where,
apothem is l / {2 tan (180° / n)}
n is the number of sides
l is the length of side
Question 5: What do you mean by the apothem of a polygon?
Answer:
The line segment joining the center of a polygon to the midpoint of one of its sides is called the apothem of the polygon.
Area of Regular Polygon
Area of a Polygon is the space covered inside the boundary of any polygon. Polygons are two- dimensional plane figures with at least three or more sides. It is to be noted that a polygon has a finite number of sides. The number of sides in a polygon determines its name. For example, a pentagon is a polygon that has 5 sides, a hexagon has 6 sides, a heptagon has 7 sides, and so on. Regular polygons are class
