Answer: 187.3 in²

Explanation:

A= (1/2)aP a is the apothem(center to midpoint of side)

P(perimeter)

P can be found by seeing that 1 of the sides is 10 in. long and multiplying by 6 sides

P=10*6=60

a, apothem, can be found by pythagorean.

c²=a²+b²

8²=a²+5²

a²=39

a=√39=6.24

A = 1/2 (6.24)(60)

=187.3 in²
