Areas of Regular Polygons
Learning Target:
I will be able to find the areas of regular polygons.
Standard 10.0
Students compute areas of polygons.

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.

Step 2
Find the area of one triangle.
Area of a triangle
b = 3 and h = 1.7
= 2.55 ft2
Simplify.
Step 3 Multiply the area of one triangle by the total
number of triangles.
Since there are 6 triangles, the area of the table is
2.55 ● 6 or 15.3 ft2.

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.
