The length of one side of the octagon is given by:
 L = 72/8

L = 9
 Then, the apothem can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem in the following way:
 11.8 ^ 2 = (9/2) ^ 2 + a ^ 2

 Clearing to have:
 a ^ 2 = 11.8 ^ 2 - (9/2) ^ 2
 a = \sqrt{11.8 ^ 2 - (9/2) ^ 2}
 a = 10.91
 Then, the area is given by:
 A = (8) * (1/2) * (L) * (a)

 Where,
 L: length of the octagon sides
 a: apotema
 Substituting values:
 A = (8) * (1/2) * (9) * (10.91)

A = 392.76 feet ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the approximate length of the apothem is:
 
a = 10.91 feet
 
The approximate area of the floor of the gazebo is:
 
A = 392.76 feet ^ 2

Question: What is the volume of the box? Explain how you found your solution.
Vikki [24]

The volume of the box is 100 cubic meter.

Step-by step explanation:

Given data:

Length of the box = 10 m

Width of the box = 5 m

Height of the box = 2 m

<u>To find the volume of the box:</u>

Volume of the box = length × width × height

                               = 10 m × 5 m × 2 m

                               = 100 cubic meter

Hence the volume of the box is 100 cubic meter.
