If it's a regular polygon, and you know the length of the perpendicular from the center to the middle of a side, and the length of a side, A = LNS, where L is the length of the perpendicular, N is the number of sides, and S is the number of sides.
See the link for a more detailed explanation of various ways to compute the area of regular polygons.

Is a line a polygon?
No, a line is not a polygon. A polygon is a closed plane area bounded by straight sides. A line, by itself, does not contain an area.
What measurement does a polygon have?
A polygon has lengths, angles, a perimeter and area.
What best describes area of a polygon?
The area of a polygon is the two-dimensional set of all points surrounded by the sides of the polygon. If you're looking for an equation, it varies based on the number of sides and the shape of the polygon.
How do you find a area of an polygon?
m
What is the formula for finding the area of a regular polygon with perimeter P and apothegm length a?
Area of regular polygon: 0.5*apothem*perimeter
What is an area of a polygon?
area of a polygon is the amount of area inside the polygon. A square is a polygon and its area is the side length squared, ie times itself. Some polygons are harder to find the area of.
What is the difference between finding the perimeter of a polygon and finding the area of a polygon?
Finding the perimeter of a polygon is finding how far it is in total along all the edges of the polygon; whereas finding the area of a polygon is finding how much space the polygon covers. The perimeter of a polygon forms the boundary around the area of the polygon.
What is a polygon region?
A polygon region is the area inside the boundaries of a polygon.
What is the amount of surface of a polygon called?
It is the area of a polygon.
Is a line a polygon?
No, a line is not a polygon. A polygon is a closed plane area bounded by straight sides. A line, by itself, does not contain an area.
What is the area of a four-sided polygon?
The area of a four-sided polygon is base times height.
What measurement does a polygon have?
A polygon has lengths, angles, a perimeter and area.
What is the answer to a side of the larger polygon is 5 times as long as the corresponding side of the smaller polygon What is the ratio of the area of the larger polygon to the area of t?
5mx10m
How is the formula of a polygon closely related to the formula of the area of a circle?
The area of a polygon is greater than the area of the largest circle that can be inscribed within the polygon and smaller that the area of the smallest circle in which the polygon can be enclosed. So the areas of two circles establish a lower and upper bound to the area of the polygon. In a similar fashion, the perimeter of the polygon are also bounded by the circumferences of the two circles. This also works in reverse. That is, the area of a circle lies between the area of an inscribed polygon and that of a polygon containing the circle. And, again, the same applies to the circumference/perimeter. In fact these bounds were used to calculate the value of pi.
How do you find area of an irregular polygon?
For example, you can divide the polygon into triangles, and calculate the area of each triangle.
Is the are of a polygon the sum of its angles?
No. If your finding the area of a polygon, it depends on which kind.
The what of a polygon is the distance around the polygon?
the perimeter. the space inside is the area
