I hope this helps

Answer 2

B. 2341 square units

Explanation:

We can divide the regular octagon into 8 similar isosceles triangles.

The area of the regular octagon then becomes

`Area=8((1)/(2)bh)`

where
`b=22` units is the base the triangle and
`h=26.6` units is the height of the triangle.

We substitute these values into the formula to get;

`Area=8((1)/(2)* 22*26.6)`

`Area=8*11*26.6`

`Area=2340.8`

`Area=2341` to the nearest square unit
