We do have a pentagon figure with the size equals 25 units.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "How to find the area of the figure?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "You can divide it into 5 isoceles triangles, then into 10 right triangles.
\n" ); document.write( "The small angle of the right triangles = 360/10 = 36 degs
\n" ); document.write( "The short side = 25/2 = 12.5
\n" ); document.write( "Use trig to find the 2nd side (the apothem).
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use the formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"Area+=+ns%5E2%2Acot%28180%2Fn%29%2F4\", n = # of sides, s = side length
\n" ); document.write( "
