Answer:
A line segment from the center of a regular polygon perpendicular to a side is called an apothem.
Step-by-step explanation:
A line segment from the center of a regular polygon perpendicular to a side is called an apothem.
apothem = Radius Cos(π/n) n = number of sides of regular polygon
or
apothem = Side * Cot(π/n) / 2
The apothem (sometimes abbreviated as apo also)
apothem can be used to find area of regular polygon
as
Apothem = 2 * Area of polygon / Perimeter of polygon
Area of polygon = Perimeter * Apothem /2

The correct answer is "Apothem".
Step-by-step explanation:
- The duration from either the middle of the polygon to each of its side midpoints is considered as an Apothem. If anyone builds a circle inside that polygon which touches almost all of the edges, its incircle radius seems to be the polygon apothem.
- There have been "n" possible apothems for such a polygon with "n" sides, mostly the same longitude with the instance.
