Question

To the nearest square unit, what is the area of the regular octagon shownbelow?26.6122OA. 585 square unitsOB. 4682 square unitsOC. 1170 square unitsOD. 2341 square units

Answer 1

The formula to calculate the area of a regular octagon is given to be:

`Area=(1)/(2)* apothem* perimeter`

The image provided gives the following parameters:

`\begin{gathered} apothem=26.6 \\ side\text{ }length=22 \\ Perimeter=2*22=176 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area will be:

`\begin{gathered} Area=(1)/(2)*26.6*176 \\ Area=2340.8 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the appoximate area is
