Check

Mixing units, scales, or coordinate conventions across side length before calculating apothem.
Rounding too early when the result still feeds another geometry or algebra step.

Example

6 units gives Apothem 4. 1291.

Formula

apothem = side / (2 x tan(pi / 5))

Use the regular-polygon apothem relationship for a 5-sided shape with equal sides and angles.
