Finding the Area of a Regular Polygon The regular octagon in the ceiling of this cathedral has a radius of 105 feet and a perimeter of 64 feet What is the lengt class=

Respuesta :

Length of ML = perimeter / 8 = 64/8 = 8 feet

The triangle  MON is right angled , ON is the apotherm and  OM = radius 10.5 ft.
MN = 1/2 * 8 = 4 ft

ON^2 = 10.5^2 - 4^2 
ON^2 =  94.25
ON = 9.708 
= 9.7 to nearest tenth Answer

Area of the octagon  = 8 * area of triangle MOL 
= 8 *  9.7 * 4 =  310.4  sq feet  Answer

Answer:

1.    9.7

2.   310.4
