Answer 1

193 square inches to the nearest WHOLE NUMBER

Explanation:

Given:

• apothem: 7.3 inches

As we know that, the formular to find the area of the regular pentagon is:

A = 1/2 × apothem × perimeter

In this situation, the area is:

A = 1/2 × 7.3 × 53

= 193.45

= 193 square inches to the nearest WHOLE NUMBER
