reas of Regular Polygons and ircles Find areas of regular polygons. Find areas of circles. Vocabulary apotem can you find te area of a polygon? Te foundations of most gazebos are saped like regular exagons. Suppose te owners of tis gazebo would like to install tile on te floor. If tiles are sold in square feet, ow can tey find out te actual area of tiles needed to cover te floor? Look Back To review apotem, see Lesson 1-4. RS OF RULR POLYONS In regular exagon BF inscribed in circle, and F are radii from te center of te circle to two vertices of te exagon. H is drawn from te center of te regular polygon perpendicular to a side of te polygon. Tis segment is called an apotem. Triangle F is an isosceles triangle, since te radii are congruent. If all of te radii were drawn, tey would separate te exagon into 6 nonoverlapping congruent isosceles triangles. B H F Te area of te exagon can be determined by adding te areas of te triangles. Since H is perpendicular to F, it is an altitude of F. Let a represent te lengt of H and let s represent te lengt of a side of te exagon. rea of F 1 b s B H a F 1 sa Te area of one triangle is 1 sa square units. So te area of te exagon is 6 1 sa square units. Notice tat te perimeter P of te exagon is 6s units. We can substitute P for 6s in te area formula. So, 6 1 sa becomes 1 Pa. Tis formula can be used for te area of any regular polygon. rea of a Regular Polygon If a regular polygon as an area of square units, a perimeter of P units, and an apotem of a units, ten 1 Pa. 610 apter 11 reas of Polygons and ircles R. ilbert/h. rmstrong Roberts
