Answer:

The apothem is also the radius of the incircle of the polygon. For a polygon of n sides, there are n possible apothems, all the same length of course. The word apothem can refer to the line itself, or the length of that line. So you can correctly say 'draw the apothem' and 'the apothem is 4cm'.
