the solid is made up of 2 regular octagons, 8 sides, joined up by 8 rectangles, one on each side towards the other octagonal face.
from the figure, we can see that the apothem is 5 for the octagons, and since each side is 3 cm long, the perimeter of one octagon is 3*8 = 24.
the standing up sides are simply rectangles of 8x3.
if we can just get the area of all those ten figures, and sum them up, that'd be the area of the solid.

<u>Given expression is </u>

can be rewritten as

We know,

And

So, using this identity, we


can be further rewritten as





<u>Hence, </u>

By the polynomial remainder theorem, the remainder upon dividing

by

will be the value of

.
... | 1 ... -6 ... -4 ... -6 .... -2
3. | .. ... 3 ... -9 ... -39 .. -135
--------------------------------------
... | 1 ... -3 ... -13 . -45 .. -137
So you have

which means
