helped me a bunch on a test thanks.

@gilbertpsp Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for leaving a comment!!

Honestly I might have been able to have an A all year if i just watched youtube starting September. Thank you :)

[MrPilarski]

@imadude55 At least you know to use youtube for Algebra 2 next year. I have some Algebra 2 videos posted. Be sure to check them out.

@MrPilarski how do you find the apothem if you don't have it?

[MrPilarski]

@Chryans Finding the apothem if you are not given it requires the use of the pythagorean theorem of basic trig functions.

thank you soo much!!! the world needs more people like you :)

It'd be much more helpful if you also showed how to find the area when the polygon doesn't have side lengths by using trig.

Also, it's a little over explained, a quicker explanation and demonstration of finding the area would be nice

4:54 Why is it squared, im still confused on that.

[MrPilarski]

@CharmingWhitelighter The units are squared because that is how the units are expressed when finding area. Just the inches are squared not any numbers.

but what if you don't know the side?? only the apothem??

Thank you

[MrPilarski]

@walterp41 You are welcome!!

This was wonderful!

[MrPilarski]

@niachassagne Great!!

[abuur123]

how do i find the area of a pentagon all they give me is the perimiter idk how to find the apothum with just the perimiter

[FashionFio99]

you're goooood thanks!

[MrPilarski]

@FashionFio99 Thanks!! I try my best to make quality geometry and algebra videos.

[HAYyyKaytay]

this actually really helped me! thanks :)

[MrPilarski]

@HAYyyKaytay Awesome!! I am glad I was able to help you with finding the area of regular polygons!! Thanks for the comment!
