Let A be a point inside a regular polygon of 10 sides. Let p_(1), p_(2)...., p_(10) be the distances of A from the sides of the polygon. If each side is of length 2 units, then find the value of p_(1) + p_(2) + ...+ p_(10) |

Answer» <P> Area of polygon `= 10 ((1)/(2) .2 (1)/(tan.(pi)/(10))) = (10)/(tan.(pi)/(10))` Now, from point A inside polygon, draw perpendiculars from to the sides of polygon. Then the area of polygon `= underset(i =1)overset(n)sum (1)/(2) .2p_(1) = (10)/(tan.(pi)/(10))` `:. p_(1) + p_(2) + .. + p_(10) = (10)/(tan.(pi)/(10))` |
