Question 19

Andrea inscribed a circle inside a regular pentagon, circumscribed a circle around the pentagon, and calculated the area of the region between the two circles. Bethany did the same with a regular heptagon (7 sides). The areas of the two regions were and , respectively. Each polygon had a side length of . Which of the following is true?

Solution

Look at the diagram below. We need to find the radius of outer circle R and radius of inner circle r.

Note that side is 2, and midpoint is 1. Therefore, square of R = square of r + 1.
Therefore, area of outer circle - area of inner circle = pie * square of R - pie * square of r = pie

This is true for any polygon. Therefore, A=B.
