Adding the lengths of the straight sides of any polygon will give its perimeter. In the case of regular polygons it will be the length of the side multiplied by the number of sides. But in the case of a non-regular polygon all the individual sides' lengths will be added to give you the perimeter.
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
If there is regular polygon(having equal sides), then perimeter is L*N where L is length of side and N is no. of sides. If polygon is not regular then may Perimeter is equal to sum of all sides, if size of each side is known.
Find the apothem of a regular polygon with an area of 625 m2 and a perimeter of 100 m.
The perimeter of a shape such as a polygon is the sum of its sides.
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the length of each of its sides. If the polygon is a regular polygon the you can calculate the perimeter as [number of sides] *[the length of one side]
Adding the lengths of the straight sides of any polygon will give its perimeter. In the case of regular polygons it will be the length of the side multiplied by the number of sides. But in the case of a non-regular polygon all the individual sides' lengths will be added to give you the perimeter.
Area of regular polygon: 0.5*apothem*perimeter
If the polygon has n sides, then the perimeter is 2.75*n metres.
The formula used to find the area of any regular polygon is A = 1/2 a P where the lower case a stands for the length of the apothem and the uppercase P stands for the perimeter of the polygon.
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
If there is regular polygon(having equal sides), then perimeter is L*N where L is length of side and N is no. of sides. If polygon is not regular then may Perimeter is equal to sum of all sides, if size of each side is known.
Find the apothem of a regular polygon with an area of 625 m2 and a perimeter of 100 m.
The perimeter of a shape such as a polygon is the sum of its sides.
A pentagon, which is a 5-sided figure, will have a perimeter equal to the sum of the lengths of all the sides. This will be true for any polygon; the perimeter of any polygon is the sum of the lengths of all the sides. If the pentagon is a regular pentagon, then the perimeter will be 5 times the length of one of the sides. For any regular polygon, the perimeter will be the length of one side times the number of sides in that polygon.
Only if you know what kind of polygon you have. If you know that you have a hexagon and one side is 1 cm, the perimeter is 6 cm. You only have to know the length of one side, since a regular polygon has equal sides. Perimeter or a regular polygon is the length of each side times the number of sides. You need to know both pieces to find the perimeter. ■
A = (1/2)Pa A being the area, P being the perimeter of the regular polygon, and the apothem length being a.
