ResourceSpotlight
In this activity, students will explore the area of a regular polygon in terms of the apothem and the perimeter. Students will derive the formula for a regular pentagon and regular hexagon. Then, students will see how the formula relates to the formula for the area of triangles. Students will then be asked to apply what they have learned about the area of a regular polygon.

ResourceSpotlight
Students investigate the properties of trapezoids, isosceles trapezoids, and kites by measuring sides and angles in the figures and by constructing and measuring the diagonals of the figures. By dragging vertices of each figure, they can make and test conjectures by seeing which properties hold true regardless of the orientation, shape, or size of the figure.
