How To Find The Area Of Regular Polygons 7 Steps With Pictures
The formula for calculating the length of the apothem is this: the length of the side (s) divided by 2 times the tangent (tan) of 180 degrees divided by the number of sides (n). The perimeter is 6 x 10 (n x s), equal to 60 (so p = 60). The apothem is calculated by its own formula, by plugging in 6 and 10 for n and s. The result of 2tan(180/6) is 1....
