How do you find an apothem for a regular pentagon?

To find the apothem, the problem will usually give you the length of all the sides around. and the slant height of the pentagon to the center. You can make a triangle using the length of the side and the slant height. Then turn it into a right triangle and use a^2+b^2=c^2
