Q. ListenFind the area of a pentagon with an apothem of 5 units. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.A≈□ square units
Identify Formula: Step 1: Identify the formula to calculate the area of a regular pentagon, which is (25)×Perimeter×Apothem.
Find Perimeter: Step 2: We need the perimeter, but it's not given. Assume each side of the pentagon is equal, let's say each side is ' extit{s}'. The perimeter ( extit{P}) of the pentagon is 5s.
Calculate Area: Step 3: Substitute the values into the area formula. Area=(25)×5s×5. Simplify it to get Area=62.5s.
