      (Show Source): 
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a dodecagon has 12 sides. By definition, all sides of a regular polygon are equal in length. If you know the length of one of the sides, the area is given by the formula:
 area=
 S^2 N
 ___________  (the 4 represents side)
 4tan(π/N)
 S  is the length of any side
 N  is the number of sides
 π  is PI, approximately 3.142
 TAN  is the tangent function calculated in radians
 The area= 176.92
