== == The question does not make sense because the numbers are not consistent. It is a bit like asking the area of a circle if the radius is 6 and the diameter is 8. A circle's diameter is constrained to be twice the size of the radius. Similarly, the apothem of the specified pentagon is constrained to be a particular size and the apothem size is not 6.Also, a pentagon does not have a radius, so that part of the question does not make sense.Notes: * A previous version of the answer to this question on this site mentioned that the source of the solution is from www.icoachmath.com. However, there does not seem to be any pentagon area problems on that site. * A precise regular pentagon area is defined on the linked site:knol.google.com/k/scot-ellison/area-of-a-regular-pentagon
regular pentagon area of 12 000 m2 and an apothem of 40 m regular pentagon area of 12 000 m2 and an apothem of 40 m need to figure it out from area 12000 m2

If you mean an apothem of 4.82 inches rounded to two decimal places then its area is 0.5*4.82*7*5 = 84.35 square inches.
