FeatureLesson Geometry Lesson Main Lesson 10-3 Areas of Regular Polygons Solutions The triangle is equilateral and equiangular, so each of its angles is 60°. The altitude divides the triangle into two 30°-60°-90° triangles. Since the short leg of the 30°-60°-90° triangle is 5cm, the long leg, which is the altitude of the equilateral triangle, is 5 3 cm. The base is 10 cm and the height is 5 3 cm. The area A = bh = (10)(5 3) = 25 3 cm The diagonal is 10 cm and divides the square into two 45°-45°-90° triangles. The legs are each, or 5 2 ft. The base is 5 2 and the height is 5 2. The area A = bh = (5 2)(5 2) = (25)(2) = 50 ft 2. Check Skills You’ll Need 10-3

The altitude divides the triangle into two 30°-60°-90° triangles. The altitude is 10 m. Since the long leg of the 30°-60°-90° triangle is 10m the short leg is m and the hypotenuse is m. Thus the base of the equilateral triangle is m. The area A = bh = ( ) (10) =, or m The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. A regular hexagon has six sides of the same length. Since each side has length 4 in., the perimeter is = (6)(4) = 24 in. 5. The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. A regular octagon has eight sides of the same length. Since each side has length 2 3 cm, the perimeter is (8)(2 3) = 16 3 cm. 10-3

FeatureLesson Geometry Lesson Main Lesson 10-3 Areas of Regular Polygons Notes 10-3 The center of a regular polygon is equidistant from the vertices. The radius of a regular polygon is the distance from the center to a vertex. The apothem is the distance from the center to a side. A central angle of a regular polygon has its vertex at the center, and its sides pass through consecutive vertices. Each central angle measure of a regular n-gon is
