1. Warm up Find x and y.

2. Find the square footage of a regular polygon A special stage will be build for Justin Bieber’s concert. You are hired to decorate the stage. But first, you have to measure the square footage of the floor, which is in the shape of a regular hexagon. What’s your strategy to find the area? (hint: break it into smaller polygons)

7. More practice !! What are the areas of each regular polygon?

8. Just two more!! What are the areas of each regular polygon?
