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.
What else can I help you with?
What are polygons that are regular polygons?
regular polygons are the ones that all sides are equal
What kinds of regular polygons are symmetrical?
all regular polygons
Do polygons have to have equal sides?
no. only regular polygons do
All polygons can be constructed entirely from the repetition of a single length of line segment?
This is false. The statement would be true for regular polygons, but not all polygons are regular.
What is the difference between regular and irregular triangles?
Regular polygons have all equal length sides and irregular polygons do not.
What are polygons that are regular polygons?
regular polygons are the ones that all sides are equal
If the area is 350square feet what is the perimeter?
There is insufficient information to answer the question. For a given area, the perimeter depends upon the shape. For a given area, the circle will have the smallest perimeter. For polygons, regular polygons will have a smaller perimeter than an irregular one of the same area. Also, for regular polygons, the greater the number of sides, the smaller the perimeter.
Which polygon has the largest area?
Among all polygons with a given perimeter, the regular polygon that maximizes the area is the circle, although a circle is not technically a polygon. If we restrict our consideration to polygons, a regular polygon with more sides (such as a regular hexagon or dodecagon) will generally have a larger area than one with fewer sides, given the same perimeter. Thus, for polygons specifically, a regular polygon with a high number of sides will have the largest area.
What kinds of regular polygons are symmetrical?
all regular polygons
How do you find the Perimeter of a polygon with only the area?
Different polygons have different relationships between perimeter and area. For example, if we assume regular polygons, an equilateral triangle and a square have different perimeters for the same area. If you allow irregular polygons, the variety is even bigger.
What polygons are always similar?
Regular polygons.
What regular polygons can be put in a tessellation?
Regular polygons with 3, 4 or 6 sides.
What regular polygons can not tile a surface?
Regular polygons with 5, 7 or more sides.
Do polygons have to have equal sides?
no. only regular polygons do
How are polygons and regular polygons different?
I don't. Think they are.
What are regular polygons?
Regular polygons are those polygons that are bothequilateral (all sides congruent) and equilateral (all interior angles congruent).
what is the name of polygons you given to a shape?
There are lots of different types of polygons Polygons are classified into various types based on the number of sides and measures of the angles.: Regular Polygons Irregular Polygons Concave Polygons Convex Polygons Trigons Quadrilateral Polygons Pentagon Polygons Hexagon Polygons Equilateral Polygons Equiangular Polygons
