Question

@iGreen can you help me again please?

Answer 1

A patio in the shape of a regular octagon (8-sided figure) has a side length of 24 ft and an apothem length of 60 ft.



What is the patio’s area?

Answer 2

Sure thing

Answer 3

Formula:

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

Where 'a' is the side length, plug in the side:

\(A = 2(1 + \sqrt{2}) (24^2)\)

We can add \(1 + \sqrt 2\):

\(A = 2(2.41421356) (24^2)\)

Okay, first simplify \(24^2\).

Answer 4

576

Answer 5

Yes, so we have:

\(A = 2(2.41421356)(576)\)

Now multiply all of those three numbers together

Answer 6

2781.1742112

Answer 7

Yep, we can round that to 2781.17.

Answer 8

That's the answer

Answer 9

Yep

Answer 10

Just 2781

Answer 11

Yes, if it wants you to round to the nearest whole number..

Answer 12

Do you have options?

Answer 13

Nope :/

Answer 14

Oh, does it tell you to round to anything?

Answer 15

no

Answer 16

Hmm..well last time it rounded to the nearest tenth, so maybe it wants us to do that..

Answer 17

Okay well thanks again I have to go to school..:P

Answer 18

Usually we round to the nearest hundredth, I would just put in 2781.17

Answer 19

Alrighty

Answer 20

@iGreen that wont fit :/

Answer 21

If it doesn't fit, then it wants you to round to the nearest tenth.

2781.2 should be correct.
