find the area of the regular polygon. give the answer to the nearest tenth. a hexagon with a radius of 12.5ft
To find the area of a regular polygon, you can use the formula:
Area = (1/2) x Perimeter x Radius
First, find the perimeter of the hexagon by multiplying the length of one side by the total number of sides (6):
Perimeter = 6 x (12.5 ft) = 75 ft
Now, plug in the values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) x 75 ft x 12.5 ft
Area = 937.5 square feet
Therefore, the area of the regular hexagon with a radius of 12.5 feet is 937.5 square feet.
