LESSON OBJECTIVE/S: AT THE END OF THIS LESSON THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE
TO DETERMINE THE PERIMETER OF A REGULAR POLYGON.
SUMMARISED NOTE
The perimeter P of a regular polygon with side ‘S’ and radius ‘r’ is given by: P = 2nrSin
Example: The perimeter of a regular hexagonal polygon is 24units, then calculate its radius and
side length.
Solution:
P = nS → S = = = 4units
r= = 4units.
Exercise:
1. If a square ABCD inscribed in a circle of radius r with 10cm long is given, then find the
perimeter of the square.
2. Prove that the perimeter of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle of radius r is
P = 3√ r units.
3. Find the length of a side of a regular hexagon with a radius 12units.
SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS WEEK: THREE
LESSON OBJECTIVE/S: AT THE END OF THIS LESSON THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE
TO DETERMINE THE AREA OF A REGULAR POLYGON.
SUMMARISED NOTE
An apothem of a regular polygon is a segment from its center perpendicular to one of its sides.
Its length is given by: a = rCos , where r is the radius and n number of sides of the polygon.
The area A of a regular polygon with perimeter P and apothem ‘a’ is given by:
A = a.P = Sin
Example: If a regular polygon of 12 sides with radius 4units long is given, find its area.
Solution:
A= Sin
= (12)( ) Sin
= 48 Sq. units

LESSON OBJECTIVE/S: AT THE END OF THIS LESSON THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE
TO DETERMINE THE AREA AND PERIMETER OF A REGULAR POLYGON.
SUMMARISED NOTE
You have seen how to determine the perimeter and area of regular polygons. Today, you are
going to solve problems based on the example given below.
Example: If the area of inscribed regular hexagon is 18√ , then find the
a) radius,
b) Side,
c) Apothem and
d) Perimeter.
Solution:
a) A = Sin
18√ Sin
r = 2√ cm
= 3cm
d) P = nS or P = 2nrSin
= 6(2√ ) ………………………….. S = r (For a regular hexagon)
= 12√ cm
