MHB Find side length, cirumference and area of octagon
So the side length is 12 cm a = 12 cm Area is 2*(1+sqrt2)a^2 = 695,3 cm^2 Circumference is 8*a = 96 cm Is this right? But how do I find out how long the triangle cathetus/sides are that were cut off from the vertices of the square? Is the cut off 8,5 cm?- Daugava
