Question

A regular polygon with $4$ sides has area:

• A. $\text{length}\times \text{breadth}$
• B. $(\text{side}{)}^2$
• C. $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(\text{side}{)}^2$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}\left(\text{sum of two parallel sides}\right)$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $(\text{side}{)}^2$

A regular polygon defines that, all its sides and angles are equal.

A regular polygon of $4$ sides has all $4$ sides equal and all $4$ angles are also equal.

So, it is a square.

Area of a square $=(\text{side}{)}^2$
