The segments connecting the sides are called its angles. The polygon is named by the number of sides it has. A triangle has 3 sides, a quadrilateral has 4 sides, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>The area of a polygon is the sum of the areas of its individual triangles. area of a triangle is one-half the base times the height.<\/p>\n<p>The area of a quadrilateral is the sum of the areas of its two triangles.<\/p>\n<p>A pentagon is a five-sided polygon. To find the area of a regular pentagon, we use the formula:<\/p>\n<p>Area = (5 * s^2) \/ (4 * tan(180\/5))<\/p>\n<p>where s is the length of one side.<\/p>\n<p>We can use this formula to find the area of an irregular pentagon as well, as long as we can measure the length of one side and all the angles. To do this, we first need to divide the pentagon into triangles. We can then use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is:<\/p>\n<p>Area = 1\/2 * base * height<\/p>\n<p>Once we have the area of all the triangles, we can add them together to get the total area of the pentagon.<\/p>\n<p>For more visit <a href=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/maths\/side-of-a-polygon\/\">Side of a Polygon &amp;#8211; Introduction, Names of Polygons, Examples, and FAQs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Find the Area of Polygon?
