Example 4
The areas of two similar rectangles are 1875 ft2 and 135 ft2.
Find the ratio of their perimeters.
Example 5
The similarity ratio of the dimensions of two similar pieces of window
glass is 3:5. If the smaller piece cost $2.50, what should be the cost of the larger
piece (based on area)?

Lesson 29a: Trigonometry and Area (PH text 10.5)
Objective:
to find areas of regular polygons and triangles using trigonometry
The apothem of any regular polygon forms isosceles triangles. You can use trigonometry to help find
the area of any regular polygon as long as you know the length of a side, radius or apothem.
Reminder:

Finding area using trigonometry:
Steps:
1. Draw in one apothem and the associated isosceles triangle.
2. Imagine all of these triangles formed within the figure.
3. Divide to find the measure of the angle formed in the right angle
at the center, x.
4. Use trigonometry, the given information and the angle measure
to find the needed information to compute the area.
5. Compute the area of the polygon. It is best to write out what you
will plug into the calculator so you can double check your
accuracy.

Additional Practice:
The polygons are regular polygons. Find the area of the shaded region.
Then find the probability of a pebble, being randomly tossed, hitting the white area.
