Base (m) Side (m) Height (m) Area (m2) 333 333.5 288.964 48112.450 333.25 333.4 288.747 48112.518 333.3 333.4 288.704 48112.522 333.5 333.3 288.531 48112.504 333.75 333.1 288.314 48112.410 334 333.0 288.097 48112.233 This has proved that once again, the regular shape has the largest area. Because the last 2 shapes have had the largest areas when they are regular, I am going to use regular shapes from now on. Regular Pentagon Because there are 5 sides, I can divide it into 5 segments. Each segment is an isosceles triangle, with a top angle of 720. This is because it is a fifth of 360. This means I can work...
