We are given a regular heptagon of side length 1. Let S be the set of points that are within a distance of 1 from some point on or inside the heptagon, but not including the heptagon itself. Find the area of S
There are seven rectangular sections, each of area 1, and seven curved sections each of which form one seventh of a sector of a unit circle. Hence the area of S is 7 + 7*pi*12/7 or S = 7 + pi
.
