What is the area of a regular pentagon with a side length of ten units?

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).

How do you find the area and perimeter of a pentagon?

Since the question does not say so, you may not assume that the pentagon is regular. One way to find the area is to select any point inside the pentagon and join it to each of the vertices. This will divide the pentagon into 5 triangles. You can then measure the sides of each triangle and thereby calculate its area. Then sum the areas of the triangles. You could also select one side in each triangle as the base and then draw and measure the perpendicular distance to the opposite vertex. That is another way to find the area of each triangle. There are other methods, too. To find the perimeter you will need to measure the length of each side of the pentagon and add these lengths together.


What is the Equation for volume of a pentagon?

A pentagon is a 2-D shape. You can't find the volume of it unless it's 3-D. The formula for the area of a pentagon has something to do with the perimeter, the number of sides, the apothem, and the number 2.

What is area of pentagon?

That depends on the size of the pentagon, and whether it is regular or not. In general, you can divide the pentagon into three triangles, and calculate the area of each triangle separately.
