Answer:
62
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1: find the height of half the yellow coloured triangle (right angled triangle). remember that the angle formed at the center is always 36° for a pentagon.
tan36° = opposite/ adjacent
tan36° = 3/h (h for height)
h × ( tan36°) = 3
h = 3 / tan36°
h = 4.13
step 2: calculate area of the right angled triangle
Area = 1/2 × b × h
= 1/2 × 3 × 4.13
= 6.195
step 3: calculate the area of a Pentagon
a Pentagon can be divided into ten right angled
triangle
6.195 × 10
total area = 61.95
rounded off = 62
