Example Questions

Example Question #752 : Geometry

Find the area of a regular pentagon that has a side length of and an apothem of .

Possible Answers:

2000

500

750

1500

Correct answer:

750

Explanation:

To find the area of a regular polygon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(apothem)$

To find the perimeter of the pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5(side)$

For the given pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5\times20=100$

So then, to find the area of the pentagon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(100)(15)=750$

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Pentagon

Find the area of a regular pentagon with a side length of .

Possible Answers:

98.21

27.53

41.21

29.11

Correct answer:

27.53

Explanation:

Use the following formula to find the area of a regular pentagon:

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{5(5+2\sqrt5)}(side)^2$

Plugging in the information given by the question,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{4}\sqrt{5(5+2\sqrt5)}(4)^2=27.53$

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Area Of A Pentagon

In terms of , find the area of a regular pentagon with side lengths of and an apothem of .

Possible Answers:

50z

75z^2

75z

150z

Correct answer:

75z

Explanation:

To find the area of a regular polygon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(apothem)$

To find the perimeter of the pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5(side)$

For the given pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5\times 5z =25z$

So then, to find the area of the pentagon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(25z)(6)=75z$

Example Question #6 : How To Find The Area Of A Pentagon

In terms of , find the area of a regular pentagon that has a side length of and an apothem of .

Possible Answers:

160a^2

120a^2

80a

80a^2

Correct answer:

80a^2

Explanation:

To find the area of a regular polygon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(apothem)$

To find the perimeter of the pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5(side)$

For the given pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5\times 8a=40a$

So then, to find the area of the pentagon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(40a)(4a)=80a^2$

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Pentagon

In terms of , find the area of a regular pentagon with side lengths of 12b and an apothem of 10b .

Possible Answers:

300b^2

200b^2

400b^2

600b^2

Correct answer:

300b^2

Explanation:

To find the area of a regular polygon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(apothem)$

To find the perimeter of the pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5(side)$

For the given pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5\times 12b=60b$

So then, to find the area of the pentagon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(60b)(10b)=300b^2$

Example Question #761 : Geometry

The area of a regular polygon is 512 . If the length of its apothem is , what is the length of each side of the pentagon?

Possible Answers:

18.2

22.2

25.6

20.8

Correct answer:

25.6

Explanation:

To find the area of a regular polygon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(apothem)$

For the given pentagon,

$512=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(8)$

8(Perimeter)=1024

Perimeter=128

To find the length of each side of the pentagon, divide the perimeter by .

Side=25.6

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Pentagon

A regular pentagon has an area of 250 . Find the length of each side of the pentagon if the apothem has a length of .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a regular polygon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(apothem)$

For the given pentagon,

$250=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(5)$

5(Perimeter)=500

Perimeter=100

To find the length of each side of the pentagon, divide the perimeter by .

Side=20

Example Question #10 : How To Find The Area Of A Pentagon

The area of a regular pentagon is 410 . Find the length of a side of the pentagon if the apothem has a length of .

Possible Answers:

$\frac{41}{3}$

$\frac{15}{2}$

$\frac{61}{3}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{41}{3}$

Explanation:

To find the area of a regular polygon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(apothem)$

For the given pentagon,

$410=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(12)$

12(Perimeter)=820

$Perimeter=\frac{820}{12}$

To find the length of each side of the pentagon, divide the perimeter by .

$Side=\frac{820}{60}=\frac{41}{3}$

Example Question #982 : Ssat Upper Level Quantitative (Math)

Find the area of a regular pentagon that has a side length of and an apothem of .

Possible Answers:

120

180

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a regular polygon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(apothem)$

To find the perimeter of the pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5(side)$

For the given pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5\times 12=60$

So then, to find the area of the pentagon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(60)(3)=90$

Example Question #11 : How To Find The Area Of A Pentagon

Find the area of a regular pentagon that has a side length of and an apothem of .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a regular polygon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(Perimeter)(apothem)$

To find the perimeter of the pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5(side)$

For the given pentagon,

$\text{Perimeter}=5\times6=30$

So then, to find the area of the pentagon,

$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{2}(30)(2)=30$
