32. The diagram shows a part of the perimeter of a regular
polygon with n sides
The centre of the polygon is at O and OA = OB = 1 unit
a) What is the angle AOB in terms of n?
b) Work out an expression in terms of n for the area
of the polygon.
Answers
Given : a regular polygon with n sides The centre of the polygon is at O and OA = OB = 1 unit
To Find : a) What is the angle AOB in terms of n?
b) Work out an expression in terms of n for the area of the polygon.
Solution:
Central Angle = 360°
∠AOB = 360°/n
n = number of sides
∠AOB = 360°/n
Area of one triangle = (1/2)*OA * OB * Sin∠AOB
=> Area of one triangle = (1/2)(1)(1)Sin(360°/n )
=> Area of one triangle = (1/2)Sin(360°/n )
Area of polygon = number of triangles * Area of one triangle
=> Area of polygon = (n/2)Sin(360°/n )
