1. Which of the following formulas is used to calculate the area of a regular polygon when the apothem (a) and perimeter (P) are known?
A = Pa
A = 2Pa
A = (1/2)Pa
A = P/a
2. What is the measure of each interior angle of a regular octagon?
90°
108°
135°
150°
3. The of a regular polygon is the distance from the center to the midpoint of a side.
4. A regular polygon with 6 equal sides and 6 equal angles is called a .
5. A regular hexagon has a side length of 8 cm. Calculate its area. (Hint: You may need to find the apothem first.)
6. A regular pentagon has an apothem of 6 cm and a side length of 8.71 cm. Find its perimeter and area.
7. All regular polygons can be inscribed in a circle.
