The approximate area of the decagon with a side of 8cm is 492.37 cm².
Given side of the regular decagon = 8cm
What is a regular decagon?
A decagon is a polygon with 10 equal sides.
We know that area of a regular decagon with side a is given by:
[tex]A=\frac{5}{2} a^{2} \sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5} }[/tex]
So, the area A of the regular decagon with a side of 8cm=[tex]\frac{5}{2} 8^{2} \sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5} }[/tex]
[tex]A=160\sqrt{5+2\sqrt{5} }[/tex]
A=492.37 cm²
Therefore, the approximate area of the decagon is 492.37 cm².
