The area of a circle is 804.2 square centimeters. The area of a sector of the circle is 268.1 square centimeters. What is the measure of the central angle that defines the sector?

• Find areas of regular polygons.

• Find areas of composite figures.

• center of a regular polygon--the point that is equidistant from each vertex 

• radius of a regular polygon-- the distance from the center to any vertex.

• apothem--A segment from the center of a regular polygon perpendicular to a side of the polygon.

• central angle of a regular polygon--the angle made at the center of the polygon by any two adjacent vertices of the polygon

• composite figure-- a figure is made from two or more geometric figures

FURNITURE The top of the table shown is a regular hexagon with a side length of 3 feet and an apothem of 1.7 feet. What is the area of the tabletop to the nearest tenth?

Step 1 Since the polygon has 6 sides, the polygoncan be divided into 6 congruent isoscelestriangles, each with a base of 3 ft and aheight of 1.7 ft.

UMBRELLA The top of an umbrella shown is a regular hexagon with a side length of 2 feet and an apothem of 1.5 feet. What is the area of the entire umbrella to the nearest tenth?

Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular Polygon

A. Find the area of the regular hexagon. Round to the nearest tenth.

Step 1 Find the measure of a central angle.

A regular hexagon has 6 congruent central

angles, so

Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular Polygon

Step 2 Find the apothem.

Apothem PS is the height of isoscelesΔQPR. It bisects QPR, so mSPR = 30. It also bisects QR, so SR = 2.5 meters.

ΔPSR is a 30°-60°-90° triangle with ashorter leg that measures 2.5 meters, so

Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular Polygon

Step 3 Use the apothem and side length to find the

area.Area of a regular polygon

B. Find the area of the regular pentagon. Round to the nearest tenth.

Step 1 A regular pentagon has 5 congruent

central

angles, so

Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular Polygon

Step 2 Apothem CD is the height of isoscelesΔBCA. It bisects BCA, so mBCD = 36.Use trigonometric ratios to find the sidelength and apothem of the polygon.

AB = 2DB or 2(9 sin 36°). So, the pentagon’s perimeter is 5 ● 2(9 sin 36°). The length of the apothem CD is 9 cos 36°.

Use the Formula for the Area of a Regular Polygon

Step 3 Area of a regular polygon

a = 9 cos 36° and P = 10(9 sin 36°)
