Question

Andrew is putting reflective tape around the edge of a stop sign. The sign is a regular octagon, and each side is 11 inches long. How many inches of tape will Andrew need?

Answer 1

88 inches

Explanation:

The stop sign is in the shape of an octagon. An octogon has 8 sides. If each side is 11 inches you multiply 11 * 8 which is 88.

Answer 2

88 inches

Explanation:

We are finding the perimeter of the stop sign, therefor we have to either multiply or add the value of 11. Since this sign is an octagon we will have to multiply by eight or add 11 eight times. This will give you an answer of 88 inches.
