or, 1600 80 x 169 1396 [with the help of (1)]
or, 1600 169 1396 80 x; or, 80 x 400 ;? x 5

The required area is 852 square cm.
16 ⋅3 Area of regular polygon
The lengths of all sides of a regular polygon are equal. Again, the angles are also
equal. Regular polygon with n sides produces n isocsceles triangles by adding centre
to the vertices.
? Area of the regular polygon = nu area of one triangular
region.
Let ABCDEFbe a regular polygon whose centre is O.
? It has n sides and the length of each side is a. We join O, A ;
O, B.
? Let in 'AOB height OM h and OAB θ
? The angle produced at each of the vertices of regular polygon = 2 θ.
? Angle produced by n number of vertices in the polygon = θn
θ

Angle produced in the polygon at the centre = 4 right angles.
The sum of angles of n number of triangles = 2 θ(n 4 ) right angles.
?Sum of 3 angles of 'OAB = 2 right angles.
? The wise, summation of the angles of n numbers of triangles = n 2 right angles
? 2 θ(n 4 ) right angles = n 2 right angles
or, 2 θn ( 2 n 4 ) right angles
