The apothem is 15 inches, the perimeter is calculated to be 99.41 while the area is given as 745.59

How to solve for the octagon

The side of the octagon is given by x inches

the interior side of the angles can be gotten by:

8-2 * 180 / 8 sides

= 135

We have to find the value of the angles

<abc = 180 - 135 = 45 degree

<acb = 180 - 135 = 45 degrees

x² = 2AB²

AB = x/√2

30 =  x/√2 + x +  x/√2

x = 30 / 1 + √2

The apothem = 30 / 2

= 15

perimeter = 8x

= 8(30 / 1 + √2)

= 99.4 inches

area = 0.5 x 15 x 99.4

= 745.59
