Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot do this unless you are certain that P is the center of the octagon. I don't know if that's solvable from the information given. So I will make the assumption that P is the center.

Determine the midpoint of BC. Call it E.  Draw a line from P to E. By symmetry EP = AP. BE = 1/2 * BC = 19/2 = 9.5 by construction

You have a trapezoid witch is 1/4 the area of the octagon. Three more trapezoids can fit into the octagon.

Formula

Area = (AP + BE)*PE / 2

Givens

AP = 12

BE = 9.5

PE = 12

Solution

Put the givens and constructions into the formula

Area = (12 + 9.5)*12/2

Area = 21.5 * 12/2

Area = 21.5 * 6

Area = 129

That's the area of one of the trapezoids. Multiply the area here by 4.

You get 516.

First symmetrically cut the octagon to get 8 pieces. (So that you will get the idea that this polygon is divided into 8 triangles)

Then find the area of one of the triangles:

Area of Triangle = \frac{1}{2} * b* h

A = \frac{1}{2} × 12 × 19

A = 114 cm²

To find the area of the whole octagon shape:

A = 114 × 8 = 912 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A clothes shop has some special offers. ?

The normal price of a T-shirt is £7.40 The normal price of a jumper is £9.80.

T-shirts are buy one get one free Jumpers are 3 for 2.

How much does it cost to get 5 jumpers and 2 T-shirts using this offer as appropriate?

The cost of 2 T-shirts since it is a buy 1 get 1 free => £7.40

The cost of 5 jumpers =

You buy 3 Jumpers ,you get 2 jumpers free => £9.80

The total cost = £7.40 + £9.80

= £17.20

The floor of a rectangular living room is 21 feet by 28 feet. What is the distance between
swat32

Answer:

35 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we will need to use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the diagonal length. Call this diagonal length 'd'.

d² = 21² + 28²

d² = 1225

d² = 35.

Thus, the diagonal length is 35 feet.
