The apothem represents one side of the right triangle to be solved. Specifically, it represents the height of the triangle.
 The radius of the polygon represents the hypotenuse of the right triangle that is going to be solved.
 Therefore, we can infer that the radius of the polygon is greater than the apothem because the hypotenuse is greater than all sides of a triangle.
 Answer:
 the radius of the polygon is greater
