Question

If a regular octagon had an area of 10,391.9 and and apothem of 56 what would be the measure of the perimeter?

Answer 1

p = 371.13

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of the octagon you use the following formula:

`A=((p)(a))/(2)`

A: area

p: perimeter

a: apothem

By replacing the values of the parameters A and a you calculate the values of the perimeter:

`p=(2A)/(a)=(2(10391.9))/(56)=371.13`

the perimeter is 371.13
