A regular heptagon has sides measuring 3.2 inches and an apothem that measures 2.9 inches. What is the area of this heptagon?

32.48 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a polygon is where is the number of sides of the polygon, is the side length of the polygon, and is the length of the apothem.

We are given the polygon is a heptagon, so it has 7 sides, making

We are given the heptagon's side length is 3.2 inches, making

We are also given an apothem of 2.9 inches, making

Therefore, by using the formula for the area of a polygon, we get

In conclusion, the area of the heptagon is 32.48 square inches

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
