What is the area of a regular heptagon with side length of 6 meters and a distance from the to the vertex of 6 meters? round your answer to the nearest tenth

Verified Answer :

apothem = side length / 2tan(180 / number of sides)
apothem = side length / 2
tan (180 / 7)
apothem = 6 / (2tan(



25.7142857143
))
apothem = 6 / 2
0.48157
apothem = 6.2296239384





Polygon area = (# of sides side length apothem) / 2
Polygon area = ( 7 6 6.2296239384) / 2
Polygon area = 130.8221027064
