单词 AreaOfRegularPolygon
释义

area of regular polygon


Theorem 1.

Given a regularPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath n-gon (http://planetmath.org/RegularPolygon) with apothem of length a and perimeterPlanetmathPlanetmath (http://planetmath.org/Perimeter2) P, its area is

A=12aP.
Proof.

Given a regular n-gon R, line segmentsMathworldPlanetmath can be drawn from its center to each of its vertices. This divides R into n congruent trianglesMathworldPlanetmath. The area of each of these triangles is 12as, where s is the length of one of the sides of the triangle. Also note that the perimeter of R is P=ns. Thus, the area A of R is

A=n(12as)=12a(ns)=12aP.

To illustrate what is going on in the proof, a regular hexagon appears below with each line segment from its center to one of its vertices drawn in red and one of its apothems drawn in blue.
