Area of a Regular Polygon
FURNITURE The top of the table
shown is a regular hexagon with
a side length of 3 feet and an
apothem of 1.7 feet. What is the
area of the tabletop to the
nearest tenth?
Step 1 Since the polygon has 6 sides, the polygon
can be divided into 6 congruent isosceles
triangles, each with a base of 3 ft and a
height of 1.7 ft.
Area of a Regular Polygon
Step 2

A. 6 ft2
Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular
Polygon
A. Find the area of the
regular hexagon. Round to
the nearest tenth.
Step 1
Find the measure of a central angle.
A regular hexagon has 6 congruent central
angles, so
Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular
Polygon
Step 2
Find the apothem.
Apothem PS is the height of isosceles
ΔQPR. It bisects QPR, so mSPR = 30.
It also bisects QR, so SR = 2.5 meters.
ΔPSR is a 30°-60°-90° triangle with a
shorter leg that measures 2.5 meters, so
Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular
Polygon
Step 3
Use the apothem and side length to find the
area.
Area of a regular polygon
≈ 65.0 m2
Answer: about 65.0 m2
Use a calculator.
Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular
Polygon
B. Find the area of the
regular pentagon. Round
to the nearest tenth.
Step 1
A regular pentagon has 5 congruent central
angles, so
Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular
Polygon
Step 2
Apothem CD is the height of isosceles
ΔBCA. It bisects BCA, so mBCD = 36.
Use trigonometric ratios to find the side
length and apothem of the polygon.
AB = 2DB or 2(9 sin 36°). So, the
pentagon’s perimeter is 5 ● 2(9 sin 36°).
The length of the apothem CD is 9 cos 36°.
Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular
Polygon
Step 3
Area of a regular polygon
a = 9 cos 36° and
P = 10(9 sin 36°)
Use a calculator.

Find the Area of a Composite Figure by
Subtracting
Find the area of the shaded figure.
To find the area of the figure, subtract the area of the
smaller rectangle from the area of the larger rectangle.
The length of the larger rectangle is 25 + 100 + 25 or
150 feet. The width of the larger rectangle is 25 + 20 +
25 or 70 feet.
Find the Area of a Composite Figure by
Subtracting
area of shaded figure
= area of larger rectangle – area of smaller rectangle
