Given:
The number of sides in a given polygon is n = 5.
The length of each side is s = 8
The length of the apothem is a = 5.5
To find:
The area of the regular polygon
Explanation:
The formula of the area of the regular polygon is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\times n\times s\times a \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times8\times5.5 \\ A=110\text{ units}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Thus, the area of the given regular polygon is 110 square units.
Final answer:
The area of the regular polygon is 110 square units.
