Hendecagon facts for kids
A hendecagon is a special shape that has 11 straight sides and 11 corners. It's also sometimes called an 11-gon. Imagine drawing a shape with 11 lines that all connect to form a closed figure – that's a hendecagon!
What is a Regular Hendecagon?
A regular hendecagon is a very balanced shape. This means that:
- All 11 of its sides are exactly the same length.
- All 11 of its corners (or angles) are exactly the same size.
Each corner in a regular hendecagon measures about 147.27 degrees. If you were to add up all the angles inside a regular hendecagon, they would total about 1619.97 degrees.
How to Find the Area
The area of a shape tells you how much flat space it covers. For a regular hendecagon, you can figure out its area if you know the length of one of its sides. While the exact formula uses advanced math, just know that there's a way to calculate it!
