To find the area of a regular polygon, you can use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * apothem * perimeter
In this case, the apothem (a) is 16.5 cm and the side length (s) is 24 cm. Since a pentagon has 5 sides, the perimeter would be 5 * s.
Plugging in the values:
Perimeter = 5 * 24 cm = 120 cm
Area = 1/2 * 16.5 cm * 120 cm = 990 square cm
Therefore, the area of the regular pentagon with an apothem of 16.5 cm and side length of 24 cm is 990 square cm.
Find the area of the regular polygon with the given apothem a and side length s.
pentagon, a=16.5 cm, s=24 cm
