V = (1/3) (area of the base) (height) Area of a pentagon = 1/2 x apothem length x 5 x length of a side of the pentagonthe apothem is the perpendicular distance from the center of the pentagon to the side of the pentagon
You didn't say it was a regular pentagon. For an arbitrary pentagon, you would calculate its area as you would for any polygon: divide it up into triangles, and add up the areas of the triangle. The area of a triangle is 1/2 times the base times the height, the height being the length of the perpendicular dropped to the base from the opposite vertex.
A regular pentagon has five (5) equilateral triangles within it. Find the area of each triangle (1/2bh where b is the base of the triangle or the length of a side of the pentagon, and h is the height of the triangle or the apothem of the pentagon) and multiply the area of the triangle times five (5).
Volume is Area of the Base times the Height of the Prism. To find the area of a Regular Pentagon, you use the formula (1/2)*Perimeter*Length of Apothem.
Area = Base Length * Height So Base Length = Area/Height = 190 sq m/19 m = 10 metres.

divide the pentagon into 5 equilateral triangles, and calculate their area. (base times height divided by 2) and when you have your answer, multiply it by 5.

A rectangle is a good, simple shape to begin with. The area of a rectangle is equal to the product of the length of its base and the length of its height. The height is a segment that is perpendicular to the base. For a rectangle, the base and height are often called the "length" and the "width", and sometimes the height is referred to as the "altitude."
area =1/2 base length x height
No, area is base x height. :o
[ONLY WORKS FOR REGULAR PENTAGONS] I don't the exact formula, BUT, from what I learned in Geometry last year, I remember that if you have the radius from the center perpendicular to a side [for height] and if you have the length of the side of the pentagon, you can use a simple 1/2 times base time height to get 1/5th of the area. Then you just take that and multiply it by 5 to get the area of the whole pentagon. I know it looks complicated, but it's pretty simple: I have a REGULAR pentagon that I chop into 5 triangles I have the height = 2 I have the base [or the length of 1 side of the pentagon]= 4 1/2xbasexheight= 1/2x2x4= 4 So now you have the area of 1 triangle and multiply by 5 4x5= 20 your pentagon is 20 units squared. I hope this helped.
To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the length of the base by the height. The height should be perpendicular to the base.
No, a triangles area is calculated from base x height / 2
