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.

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?

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.
