Find the area of the following regular polygons.  Round all answers to nearest 10th.

## Find the area of the following regular polygons. Round all answers to the nearest 10th.

### Problem 7:
A triangle with one side length of 1 unit. A perpendicular height is shown from the side to the opposite vertex.

### Problem 8:
A regular polygon with 8 sides (octagon). The apothem (the perpendicular distance from the center to a side) is labeled as 16 units.

### Problem 9:
A regular polygon with 6 sides (hexagon). The apothem is labeled as 8 units.

---

### Explanation of Graphs or Diagrams:
- **Diagram in Problem 7:**
  - A triangle with a side labeled as 1 unit.
  - A line segment from the side to the opposite vertex is depicted perpendicular to the side, indicating the height used in finding the area.

- **Diagram in Problem 8:**
  - An octagon (8 sides) with an apothem colored as 16 units from the center of the polygon to a side.

- **Diagram in Problem 9:**
  - A hexagon (6 sides) with an apothem shown as 8 units from the center of the polygon to a side.

---

**Instruction to Students:**
Use the given side lengths and apothem values to calculate the area of each polygon. Remember to round your answers to the nearest 10th.
