The distance from the center of a regular polygon to a side is called its apothem(a). Keep that in mind. The perimeter(p) of the polygon is the measurement of all its sides, or the measurement of one side x the number of sides when it comes to a regular polygon.
To find the area of the polygon, use the following e formula.
Area = 1/2 (a) x (p)
You must use the full perimeter.
