(Credits to Mathopenref.com)1. Given the length of a side.By definition, all sides of a regular polygon are equal in length. If you know the length of one of the sides, the area is given by the formula:



where
Sis the length of any side
Nis the number of sides
TANis the tangent function calculated indegrees
(seeTrigonometry Overview)Calculator

To see how this equation is derived, see

Derivation of regular polygon area formula.

2. Given the radius (circumradius)If you know the radius (distance from the center to a vertex, see figure above):


where
Ris the radius (circumradius)
Nis the number of sides
SINis the sine function calculated indegrees
(seeTrigonometry Overview)Calculator

To see how this equation is derived, see

Derivation of regular polygon area formula.

3. Given the apothem (inradius)If you know the

apothem, or inradius, (the perpendicular distance from center to a side. See figure above)

where
Ais the length of theapothem(inradius)
Nis the number of sides
TANis the tangent function calculated indegrees(seeTrigonometry Overview).Calculat

What are all the types of pentagons?

Pentagons can be classified based on their side lengths and angles. The main types include regular pentagons, which have all sides and angles equal, and irregular pentagons, which have sides and angles of varying lengths. They can also be categorized as convex pentagons, where all interior angles are less than 180 degrees, and concave pentagons, which have at least one interior angle greater than 180 degrees. Additionally, pentagons can be further classified into specific types like cyclic pentagons, which can be inscribed in a circle, and self-intersecting pentagons, also known as star pentagons.


Why can't you use regular pentagons to tile an area?

Because There is always the little sliver that it doesnt cover
