Question

the area (a) of a regular polygon is given by the formula: a = 1/2ap where we know the apothem (a) and the perimeter (p) of the regular polygon. which expression completes the calculation for the area of the regular polygon? apothem = 5.5; perimeter = 40; area = ? 1.02.0 apothem perimeter 1.0/2.0 apothem perimeter 1.0/2.0 apothem * area

Explanation:

Step1: Recall area formula

The area formula of a regular polygon is $A=\frac{1}{2}aP$, where $a$ is the apothem and $P$ is the perimeter. In programming - like syntax, $\frac{1}{2}$ can be written as $1.0/2.0$, $a$ as apothem and $P$ as perimeter.

Answer:

B. 1.0/2.0 apothem perimeter
