what is the area of the regular pentagon with a radius of 18mm?

What Is The Area Of The Regular Pentagon With A Radius Of 18mm class=

Sagot :

Given:

Required:

We need to find the area of given pantagon

Explanation:

First take one triangle with center angle is

[tex]\frac{360}{5}=72\degree[/tex]

now triangle is as

use sin function to find b

[tex]\begin{gathered} sin36=\frac{b}{r} \\ \\ b=10.58\text{ mm} \end{gathered}[/tex]

B is

[tex]B=2b=2*10.58=21.16\text{ mm}[/tex]

now to find h

use cos function

[tex]\begin{gathered} cos36=\frac{h}{r} \\ \\ h=14.56\text{ mm} \end{gathered}[/tex]

area of one triangle is

[tex]a=\frac{1}{2}Bh=\frac{1}{2}*14.56*21.16=154.07\text{ mm}^2[/tex]

area A of pentagone is

Final answer:

[tex]A=5a=770.35\approx770\text{ mm}^2[/tex]
