What is the area of the regular octagon below? 9m
a). 114.5m
b). 229.1m
c). 391.1m
d). 458.m

No diagram and no explanation what 9 is.

However, if it is an octagon with each side equal to 9 then

area = (# of sides * side^2) / (4 * tan (180 # of sides))

area = 8 * 9 * 9 / (4* tan (180 / 8)

area = 648 / 4 * 0.41421

area = 391.1059607446

answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

9 x 8 divided by (5-3)=36

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
