That Area Is So Regular
Activity Overview
In this activity, students will investigate the formula for the area of regular polygons given the length of one side. Students will be asked inquiry questions to assist them in deriving the formula for a regular polygon with n= 3, 4, and 5 sides. They will then use the patterns they discovered to find the formula for the area of a regular polygon of n sides.
