A regular polygon is a 2-dimensional convex figure with congruent sides and angles equal in measure. Many polygons, such as [[Find the Area of a Quadrilateral|quadrilaterals]] or [[Calculate the Area of a Triangle|triangles]] have simple formulas for finding their areas, but if you're working with a polygon that has more than four sides, then your best bet may be to use a formula that uses the shape's apothem and perimeter. With a little bit of effort, you can find the area of regular polygons in just a few minutes. | A regular polygon is a 2-dimensional convex figure with congruent sides and angles equal in measure.
