Areas of Regular polygon

So I tried to do this problem but when i checked my answer it was incorrect and I have no idea what I did wrong.


Here is the question


Find the area of each regular polygon with the given radius or apothem. If your

answer is not an integer, leave it in simplest radical form.


The shape is a square with a radius of 8 mm

A square has 4 sides with a length associated to one of the sides? You have a radius listed which is usually associated with a circle. Is your description of the shape complete? By definition the apothem of square is half the length of one side. If the apothem of the square is 8 then the length of the side is 16. Hope this helps.
