The formula for finding the area of a regular pentagon is:
Area = (1/2) * Perimeter * Apothem
To find the perimeter of a regular pentagon with a side length of 14 in, we can use the formula:
Perimeter = 5 * side length
Perimeter = 5 * 14 in
Perimeter = 70 in
Now, we can plug in the values we have into the area formula:
Area = (1/2) * 70 in * 10 in
Area = 35 in * 10 in
Area = 350 square inches
Therefore, the area of the regular pentagon is 350 square inches.
Find the area of a regular pentagon with an apothem of 10 in and a side 14 in. (1 point)
