Answer:


A=50(1+\sqrt 2) \ cm^2

Explanation:

We have given that the side length of a regular octagon is 5 cm. It is required to find the area of this octagon.

The formula used to find the area of a regular octagon is :


A=2(1+\sqrt 2) a^2

a is side length

So,


A=2(1+\sqrt 2) * (5)^2\\\\A=2(1+\sqrt 2) * 25\\\\A=50(1+\sqrt 2) \ cm^2

So, the area of a regular octagon is
50(1+\sqrt 2) \ cm^2.
