Front

Define 'apothem' in the context of regular polygons.

Back

The apothem is the distance from the center of a regular polygon to the midpoint of one of its sides.

Front

How do you calculate the perimeter of a regular polygon?

Back

Front

Find the area of a regular pentagon with a side length of 5 cm and an apothem of 4.5 cm.

Back

Area = (1/2) * Perimeter * Apothem = (1/2) * (5 cm * 5) * 4.5 cm = 56.25 cm².
