a regular dodecagon can be dissected into regular polygons (which do not all have the same number of sides). use this dissection (but not a calculator) to find the area of the dodecagon, assuming that its edges are all 8 cm long.



Answer :

The area of the Dodecagon will be = 716.16 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

If we refer to the question given,

Length of the edges of a dodecagon = 8cm

Properties of Dodecagon

  • In geometry, a polygon that is having ten sides is known as a 10-gon or Dodecagon.
  • Two dimensional
  • 12 interior angles

First, let us take out the perimeter of the dodecagon,

Perimeter = 12 x s

Perimeter = 12 x 8

Perimeter = 96 cm

To find the area of a dodecagon the formula used is,

A = [tex]3 * s^{2} * (2 + \sqrt{3} )[/tex]

Here s refers to the side of a dodecagon,

A = [tex]3 * 8^{2} * (2 + \sqrt{3} )[/tex]

A = 3 x 64 x 3.73

A = 716.16 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, The area of the Dodecagon will be = 716.16 [tex]cm^{2}[/tex]
