🔷 General Formulas for Regular Polygons



For a regular polygon with:
- $ n $ sides
- side length $ s $
- apothem $ a $ (distance from center to midpoint of a side)

Then:
- Perimeter = $ P = n \times s $
- Area = $ A = \frac{1}{2} \times P \times a = \frac{1}{2} \times n \times s \times a $

We’ll use these formulas throughout.

## Problem 1: Regular Pentagon (Top Left)

Given:
- Side length $ s = 18 $ units
- Apothem $ a = 15 $ units
- Number of sides $ n = 5 $

🔹 Perimeter:


$$
P = 5 \times 18 = 90 \text{ units}
$$

🔹 Area:


$$
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 90 \times 15 = 45 \times 15 = 675 \text{ square units}
$$

Answer:
- Perimeter: 90 units
- Area: 675 square units

## Problem 2: Regular Octagon (Top Right)

Given:
- Side length $ s = 10 $ m
- Apothem $ a = 12.1 $ m
- Number of sides $ n = 8 $

🔹 Perimeter:


$$
P = 8 \times 10 = 80 \text{ m}
$$

🔹 Area:


$$
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 80 \times 12.1 = 40 \times 12.1 = 484 \text{ m}^2
$$

Answer:
- Perimeter: 80 m
- Area: 484 m²

## Problem 3: Regular Octagon (Middle Left)

Given:
- Side length $ s = 5 $ cm
- Apothem $ a = 6 $ cm
- $ n = 8 $

🔹 Perimeter:


$$
P = 8 \times 5 = 40 \text{ cm}
$$

🔹 Area:


$$
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 40 \times 6 = 20 \times 6 = 120 \text{ cm}^2
$$

Answer:
- Perimeter: 40 cm
- Area: 120 cm²

---

## Problem 4: Regular Hexagon (Middle Right)

Given:
- Side length $ s = 5 $ cm
- Apothem $ a = 4.3 $ cm
- $ n = 6 $

🔹 Perimeter:


$$
P = 6 \times 5 = 30 \text{ cm}
$$

🔹 Area:


$$
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 30 \times 4.3 = 15 \times 4.3 = 64.5 \text{ cm}^2
$$

Answer:
- Perimeter: 30 cm
- Area: 64.5 cm²

---

## Problem 5: Regular Pentagon (Bottom Left)

Given:
- Side length $ s = 10 $ cm
- Apothem $ a = 6.9 $ cm
- $ n = 5 $

🔹 Perimeter:


$$
P = 5 \times 10 = 50 \text{ cm}
$$

🔹 Area:


$$
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 50 \times 6.9 = 25 \times 6.9 = 172.5 \text{ cm}^2
$$

Answer:
- Perimeter: 50 cm
- Area: 172.5 cm²

---

## Problem 6: Regular Pentagon (Bottom Right)

Given:
- Side length $ s = 2 $ cm
- Apothem $ a = 1.4 $ cm
- $ n = 5 $

🔹 Perimeter:


$$
P = 5 \times 2 = 10 \text{ cm}
$$

🔹 Area:


$$
A = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 1.4 = 5 \times 1.4 = 7 \text{ cm}^2
$$

Answer:
- Perimeter: 10 cm
- Area: 7 cm²

---

📌 Final Answers Summary:



| Shape | Perimeter | Area |
|------|-----------|------|
| Pentagon (top left) | 90 units | 675 sq units |
| Octagon (top right) | 80 m | 484 m² |
| Octagon (middle left) | 40 cm | 120 cm² |
| Hexagon (middle right) | 30 cm | 64.5 cm² |
| Pentagon (bottom left) | 50 cm | 172.5 cm² |
| Pentagon (bottom right) | 10 cm | 7 cm² |
