Area of Regular Polygons Notes

This document contains a lesson on finding the area of regular polygons. It begins with examples of finding the central angles of regular polygons like pentagons, hexagons and triangles. Then it provides the formula for finding the area of a regular polygon based on the number of sides, apothem and side length. Several examples are worked out of finding the area of regular polygons like hexagons, octagons and decagons when given attributes like side length, apothem or radius. The final examples show finding the area of an equilateral triangle using different area formulas.
