find the area of the polygon
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a regular polygon, all you have to do is follow this simple formula: area = 1/2 x perimeter x apothem. Here is what it means: Perimeter = the sum of the lengths of all the sides. Apothem = a segment that joins the polygon's center to the midpoint of any side that is perpendicular to that side.
Answer:the correct answer is 410cm sq.
2height of trapezium =total height of the figure - length of the rectangle
=>2h = 50-40
=>2h=10
=>h=10/2
=>h= 5cm
Required area = area of two equal trapezium + area of rectangle
=2*1/2*(sum of parallel sides) *h+l*b
=(8+10)*5+40*8
=18*5+320
=90+320
=410 cm sq.
area of polygon =410cm sq
