Answer:
[tex]84.3\text{ cm}^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the area of the regular heptagon
Mathematically, we use the formula below:
[tex]A\text{ = a}^2n\text{ tan\lparen}\frac{180}{n})[/tex]
where:
a is the length of the apothem which is 5 cm
n is the number of sides of the polygon which is 7 (heptagon is a 7-sides polygon)
Substituting the values, we have it that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} A\text{ = 5}^2\times7\text{ }\times\text{ tan }\frac{180}{7} \\ \\ A\text{ = 84.3 cm}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
