**1. Find the Perimeter of the Base**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Perimeter of the octagonal base = Number of sides * Length of each side
\n" ); document.write( "* Perimeter = 8 sides * 43 ft/side = 344 ft\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**2. Calculate the Lateral Surface Area**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Lateral Surface Area = (1/2) * Perimeter of base * Slant height
\n" ); document.write( "* Lateral Surface Area = (1/2) * 344 ft * 92 ft
\n" ); document.write( "* Lateral Surface Area = 15824 sq ft\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**3. Calculate the Cost of Painting**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Cost = Lateral Surface Area * Cost per square foot
\n" ); document.write( "* Cost = 15824 sq ft * Php 530.00/sq ft
\n" ); document.write( "* Cost = Php 8,392,320.00\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**Therefore, the cost of painting the spire will be Php 8,392,320.00**
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
