Can you find a perimeter of a regular polygon if you only know the meaurement of one side?
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. ■
How do you know when a polygon is a regular polygon?
If every side of the polygon is the same length, then it is a regular polygon. If the measure of every internal angle of a polygon is the same as every other, then it is a regular polygon. The two always go together, so you need to check only one of the above criteria.
How do you figure the perimeter of a polygon with an area of 72?
I can not tell you. It is because i do not know what shape the polygon is. You must tell me that first.
How do people know that a polygon is regular?
It is a regular polygon when its sides are of equal length and its interior angles are of equal sizes
How can you find the area of a polygon that is not one for which you know an area formula?
Divide the polygon into triangles. Calculate the areas of the triangles and then sum these.
