Question 145155
Regular polygons are sometimes said to have a radius, defined as the distance from the center to a vertex. This is the same as the radius of a circumscribed circle with the same center. This latter formulation is sometimes used to define the radius of an arbitrary polygon and is called the circumradius.
-----------------------
I'll proceed on the assumption that that's what you meant, and also assume that it's a regular pentagon.
-----------------------------
A regular pentagon can be divided into 5 triangles having 2 angles of 54 degs and one of 72 degs.  The 2 sides adjacent to the 72 deg angle are 40 cm long.
The sides of the pentagon are {{{2*40*sin(36)}}} and the height of the triangles is {{{40*cos(36)}}}. The area is bh/2, which is {{{(40*(2*40*sin(36))*cos(36)/2)}}}, or {{{1600*sin(36)*cos(36)}}}
This is 800sin(72). As there are 5 of them, the area is 4000sin(72), apx 3804 square cm.
