Worksheet variations

A regular polygon splits into identical triangles meeting at the center. Each has the apothem (the distance from the center to the middle of a side) as its height, so the area is ½ × apothem × perimeter. A regular hexagon is six equilateral triangles, and its apothem is the side times √3 ÷ 2.

How to solve it: a worked example

Find the area.

  1. StartA regular polygon with 8 sides has an apothem of 6.3 cm and a perimeter of 88 cm. Find its area.
  2. Half the apothem times the perimeter12 × 6.3 × 88 = 277.2
  3. Answer277.2 cm2

Common mistakes to watch for

  • Using the length of one side instead of the perimeter.
  • Using the radius (center to a corner) as the apothem.
  • Forgetting the ½.

FAQ

What is the apothem?

The distance from the centre of a regular polygon to the midpoint of a side, perpendicular to that side. Area = ½ × apothem × perimeter.

Why does the hexagon formula have √3 in it?

A regular hexagon is six equilateral triangles, and each has area (√3/4)s². Six of them give (3√3/2)s².

Is every worksheet different?

Yes. Numbers are generated each time, and the answer key is calculated for that sheet. Swap any single question and its answer updates too.

Can I mix area of regular polygons with other skills?

Yes. In the generator, add more skills; each gets its own section on the sheet with its own instructions.

Is it free to print?

Yes. Generating and printing from the browser is free with no sign-up. PDF downloads need a free account.
