Today’s objective…• How would I find the area of this shape??
Use what we have learned to come up with some ideas.
The method we are learning today works for ANY regular polygon

Review: How do you find the area of a rectangle?•A = bh or A = lw
Parallelograms are awesome
What would happen if I cut a triangle off of one end of the parallelogram and translated it to the other side?
What shape have we formed?
So how do you find the area?
A = lw or A = bh
Review: How do you find the area of a triangle?•A = ½ bh or A = bh/2
Review: How do you find the area of a circle?
•A = π r 2
How about a pentagon?What if we cut the pentagon into congruent triangles?If you know the height of the triangle,
you can find the area.
So does the formula from the formula chart for a regular polygon make sense?
A = ½ aP
(A = ½ the apothem times the Perimeter)
The height of one of those triangles would be perpendicular to the base and go right to the middle of the pentagon.
That’s what we call the “apothem” of the polygon
18.2 cm
If it is a regular pentagon, it’s easy.
12.5 cm A = ½ (b) (h) so A = ½ (18.2) (12.5)
The area of one of the triangles is 113.75 cm2
How many triangles are there?
12

Now for an example problem:
A = ½ a P5.1
P = 7.5 * 5
P = 37.5
37.5
A = ½ a PA = ½ * 5.1 * 37.5
A = 95.625A = 95.63 units2
≈2.31
