Area of a Regular Polygon
• The area of a regular n-gon with side lengths (s) is half the product of the apothem (a) and the perimeter (P), so
A = ½ aP, or A = ½ a • ns.
NOTE: In a regular polygon, the length of each side is the same. If this length is (s), and there are (n) sides, then the perimeter P of the polygon is n • s, or P = ns
The number of congruent triangles formed will be the same as the number of sides of the polygon.

More . . .
• A central angle of a regular polygon is an angle whose vertex is the center and whose sides contain two consecutive vertices of the polygon. You can divide 360° by the number of sides to find the measure of each central angle of the polygon.
• 360/n = central angle

Areas of Regular PolygonsCenter of a regular polygon: center of the circumscribed circle.Radius: distance from the center to a vertex.Apothem: Perpendicular distance from the center to a side.
Example 1: Find the measure of each numbered angle.
•123
360/5 = 72 ½ (72) = 36 L2 = 36
L3 = 54L1 = 72
Example 2: Find the area of a regular decagon with a 12.3 in apothem and 8 in sides.
Area of a regular polygon: A = ½ a p where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter.
Perimeter: 80 in A = ½ • 12.3 • 80 A = 492 in2
Example 3: Find the area. 10 mm
•A = ½ a p p = 60 mm
5 mm
LL = √3 • 5 = 8.66 a
A = ½ • 8.66 • 60 A = 259.8 mm2
