How is an apothem different from a radius?
An apothem is a line drawn perpendicular to a side of a regular polygon from the center of the polygon. A polygon is not a circle so it cannot have a radius. The radius of a circle is drawn from the center to any point in the circumference of the circle. You can draw a circle which encloses the regular polygon touching all vertices. The polygon is said to be inscribed in the circle. The apothem will be less than the radius because the radius is not perpendicular to any side, it can be drawn to a vertex but the apothem is perpendicular to a side, so it is shorter. Ex: draw a square with a circle which inscribes it. You can see that the apothem will be less than the radius.
What is the perimeter of a hexagon with an apothem of 12?
The perimeter of a hexagon with an apothem of 12 is 83.14
How do you find the perimeter of a regular polygon with the apothem and area?
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
What is an Apothem in math give the definition of it?
The apothem, for a circle, is the perpendicular distance from a chord to the centre of the circle.
How do you find the Area of a nonagon with an apothem of 7?
First you must determin what the "apothem" is, and by that i mean what the hell that word means.

How do you find an apothem?
The formula for finding an apothem is s = 1/2 aP. S is the area, a is the apothem, and P is the perimeter.

The perimeter of a hexagon with an apothem of 12 is 83.14
How do you find the perimeter of a regular polygon with the apothem and area?
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
What is an apothem of a regular polygon?
An apothem is a line segment from the center of a regular polygon to the midpoint of a side.
What is an Apothem in math give the definition of it?
The apothem, for a circle, is the perpendicular distance from a chord to the centre of the circle.
What is the apothem of a regular hexagon?
If the hexagon has side length s, then the apothem is sqrt(3) * s / 2.
Find the apothem of a regular polygon with an area of 625 meters and a perimeter of 100?
The apothem is 12.5 metres.
What is the area of a regular hexagon with apothem length of 24 inches?
For a regular hexagon, half the side length can be calculated from the apothem via trigonometry: half_side_length = apothem x tan 30° Then: area = apothem x 1/2 x perimeter = apothem x 1/2 x side_length x 6 = apothem x half_side_length x 6 = 24 in x (24 in x tan 30°) x 6 ≈ 1995 sq in
Can a circle have an apothem?
yes

What is the apothem and square root of 14?
The square root of 14 is 3.7417 (to 4 dp). An apothem is a geometric concept. It is the distance from the centre of a regular polygon to the middle of its sides. A pure number, such as 14, has no apothem.
