Only if you want to slam dunk it on.
I haven't got a 172R POH to hand but what I normally do when I fly a new type is to take it up to a sensible altitude and configure into landing set up.
Do few stalls like that. Note stall speed. Multiply by 1.3 and you have now the correct approach speed for your aeroplane at that weight.
If conditions are very smooth and you are very au fait with the aeroplane you may be able to nibble off a bit and fly the approach at 1.2 * Vstall.
Of course adjust for other factors as required in particular gusty conditions.
