Which of the following statements about the area of polygons is true?
  1. The area of a polygon can be calculated using the formula A = 1/2 * base * height.
  2. The area of a polygon is always greater than the area of its circumscribed circle.
  3. The area of a regular polygon can be calculated using the formula A = (1/4) * n * s^2 * cot(π/n).
  4. The area of a polygon is independent of its shape.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements about the area of polygons is true?
  • Step 1: Understand what a polygon is. A polygon is a shape with straight sides, like a triangle or a square.
  • Step 2: Know what a regular polygon is. A regular polygon has all sides and angles equal, like a regular hexagon.
  • Step 3: Learn about area. The area is the amount of space inside a shape.
  • Step 4: Familiarize yourself with the formula for the area of a regular polygon: A = (1/4) * n * s^2 * cot(π/n).
  • Step 5: Identify the variables in the formula: 'n' is the number of sides, and 's' is the length of one side.
  • Step 6: Understand that this formula helps you calculate the area of any regular polygon if you know how many sides it has and the length of one side.
