Decagon

Calculate the area and circumference of the regular decagon when its radius of a circle circumscribing is R = 1m

Correct answer:

S =  2.9389 m2
o =  6.1803 m

Step-by-step explanation:

R=1 m n=10  A=360/n=360/10=36 ∘  sin A/2 =  Ra/2​  a=2⋅ R⋅ sin(A/2)=2⋅ 1⋅ sin(36/2)≐0.618 m  r=R2−(a/2)2​=12−(0.618/2)2​≐0.9511 m  S1​=2r⋅ a​=20.9511⋅ 0.618​≐0.2939 m2 S=n⋅ S1​=10⋅ 0.2939=2.9389 m2
o=n⋅ a=10⋅ 0.618=6.1803 m
