Algebra.Com's Answer #640148 by FrankM(1040)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Exterior angle of octagon is 360/8 = 45 degrees.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore interior angle is 180-45 = 135. It would be a simple 225/360 of a circle with radius 12, until you see the chain is longer than one side. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " See this image for the rest of the calculations \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " ![]() |
