Step-by-step explanation:

An apothem is the altitude drawn form the side to the center of the polygon. It is perpendicular to the side. The apothems form n angles each of them 360/n. It can be used with the side to determine the area: nsa/2, where n = number of sides, s = length of side, a = apothem.
