Find the area of a octagon if the perimeter is 42
thank you very much who ever answers it you have been a great help. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! An octagon has 8 sides.
If it's a regular octagon, each side = 42/8 = 5.25
---------
The area of ANY regular polygon with n sides of length s is:
Area = 55.125*cot(22.5)
=~ 133.08 sq units
