What is the apothem?

A line going from the center of


The polygon to on of the sides.

Since O==10,
Since O 10,X = 20.
X = 20.
P = 6*20 = 120
P
A== 6*X = 6*20 = 120

Method 1: Use the angle Method 2: Use Pythagorean theorem


1. Use one value that 1 have a^2+b^2=c^2
2. Find value I don’t have
(c is always the hypotenuse, a and b
What do we want? don’t matter:ONLY for Pythagorean
We want O. theorem)
We have : angle and H

sin(ϴ) = O/H
sin(30) = O/20
O = 20sin(30)
O = 10
Let C be a circle of radius 10. We will inscribe a polygon inside the
circle. Let P be the inscribed polygon with 1000 sides.
The apothem of the 1000-gon be 10. Find the area of the 1000-gon.
1) What is the angle theta?
360/1000/2 = .18

sin(.18) = O/10
O=10sin(.18)
= .0314
X = 2*O
= .0628
P = .0628*1000 = 62.83
A = aP/2
= (10)(62.83)/2
314.15878

A = piR^2
= (3.1415926)*(10)^2
= 314.15926
