1. Find the area of a regular 15 sided polygon whose vertices are 15 equally spaced points on a circle of radius 3? Area= 2. Find the area of a regular dodecogon with sides length S. Use the fact that area of the dodecagon with side S sqrt(2-sqrt(3)) equals. Solution A 15 sided polygon will have internal angle= 360/15= 24 deg Each chord forms a side of the polygon. The side length= 2 sin 12 There are 15 such triangles in the circle Hence total area= 15 x 0.5 x 2 x 3 xsin 12 x 3 x cos 12= 27.45 2. Dodecagon has 20 sides. Internal angle= 360/20= 18 deg We break it into 20 triangles Base=S Perpendicular= S/2 cot 9 Area of one triangle= 0.5 x S x 0.5 x S x cot 9 = 1.582 Total area= 20 x area of one= 31.64.
