Method 1: In order to find out the area of an octagon with a radius of 4 feet, we have to split the whole figure into 8 equal isosceles triangles.
Therefore, 
We will find out the area of one triangle and multiply the area with 8 to, figure out the area of the whole octagon there are 8 similar triangles and all of them will have the same area.

Method 2: From method 1, it would take time as there are too much of calculation, therefore we would go for the shortcut using the formula:

Area = 2√2 × r²

where r<span> is the radius of the octagon.
Substituting the values,
We get:
             </span>Area = 2√2 × 4²
             Area = 2√2 × 16
             Area = 2× 1.41 × 16 
             Area = 2.828 × 16 
            Area = 45.25

Rounded to the nearest tenth:

Area = 45.3 ft²

Vesna [10]

First, we can choose the seats for the four mathematicians.  Then we seat the physicits, then the engineer.  There are 4! ways to seat the mathematicians, then 3! ways to seat the physicists, then 1! ways to seat the engineer.  But then we must divide by 8, because we can rotate the table, so there are 8!*4!*3!/8 = 725760 ways to seat everyone.
