Draw a regular pentagon and construct a square with area equal to the area of the pentagon.Also draw regular hexagon ,heptagon,octagon and their respective squares with area to the polygons.


(Note:- Figure should be used only for reference as the length of the sides are not exactly 3 cm)

Now as we know that area of a regular pentagon isA=145(5+25)a2 where a is the length of each sideHere we have taken a=3 cmHence A=145(5+25) ×3cm×3cm=94×6.8819 cm215.48 cm2Now length of each side of the square = 15.48 cm2=3.93 cm


(Note:- Figure should be used only for reference as the length of the sides are not exactly 3.93 cm)
