The apothem of a polygon is a line made from the center to the midpoint of any side of the polygon. The radius, on the other hand, is the line from the center to any corner of the polygon. If you illustrate the problem, you can form a right triangle where the hypotenuse is the radius, and the other two legs are the apothem and half of one side of the polygon.
Perimeter of octagon = 8*length of each side = 64
length of each side = 8 ft
Therefore,
Apothem = √(10.5^2 - (8/2)^2) = 9.71 ft

Answer:
a = length of the base = 2.172 m
b = width of the base = 1.357 m
c = height = 4.072 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose we want to build a rectangular storage container with open top whose volume is 12 cubic meters. Assume that the cost of materials for the base is 12 dollars per square meter, and the cost of materials for the sides is 8 dollars per square meter. The height of the box is three times the width of the base. What’s the least amount of money we can spend to build such a container?
lets call a = length of the base
b = width of the base
c = height
V = a.b.c = 12
Area without the top:
Area = ab + 2bc + 2ac
Cost = 12ab + 8.2bc + 8.2ac
Cost = 12ab + 16bc + 16ac
height = 3.width
c = 3b
Cost = 12ab + 16b.3b + 16a.3b = 12ab + 48b² + 48ab = 48b² + 60ab
abc = 12 → ab.3b = 12 → 3ab² = 12 → ab² = 4 → a = 4/b²
Cost = 48b² + 60ab = 48b² + 60b.4/b² = 48b² + 240/b
C(b) = 48b² + 240/b
C'(b) = 96b - 240/b²
Minimum cost: C'(b) = 0
96b - 240/b² = 0
(96b³ - 240)/b² = 0
96b³ - 240 = 0
96b³ = 240
b³ = 240/96
b³ = 2.5
b = 1.357m
c = 3b = 3*1.357 = 4.072m
a = 4/b² = 2.172m
It would be x=-4 have a good day
