Answer:
An apothem is a line drawn from the centerpoint of the polygon to one side of the polygon. There is a formula for area in terms of apothem:
A = (1/2)*(Perimeter)*(Apothem)
The perimeter of the regular polygon is just the length of one side multiplied with the number of sides. Since a polygon with 9 sides,
P = 9(15) = 135in
A = 1/2 ×135 × 12
A = 810 square inches ans
