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

Use the dchnition of similarity to solve the following problem.
sveta [45]

Answer:

  1063 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For shadow problems, we assume the sun's rays are parallel, so the triangles formed are similar. That means the ratio of height to shadow length is the same for each object.

  h/(580 ft) = (5.5 ft)/(3 ft)

  h = (5.5 ft)(580/3) ≈ 1063 ft

The height of the monument is about 1063 feet.
