Answer:

Area is 321.6 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A regular polygon with 16 sides is a Regular Hexadecagon. Regular means all sides are equal dimension. See image attached.

Side length is 4 inches.

side length=s=4 inches

  1. You need to calculate the apothem.

Apothem=s*2.51367

Apothem=10.054

2.  You can use the formula to calculate de area of an hexadecagon:

[tex]A=\frac{Perimeter*Apothem}{2}[/tex]

Perimeter=16 sides*4inches

Perimeter= 64 inches

[tex]A=\frac{64*10.054}{2}[/tex]

[tex]A=321.6 inches^{2}[/tex]
