So... let's say the smaller regular octagon has sides of "x" long, then the larger octagon will have sides of 5x.

\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{ratio relations}
\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccllll}
&Sides&Area&Volume\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}&\cfrac{s}{s}&\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}&\cfrac{s^3}{s^3}
\end{array} \\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{\textit{similar shape}}{\textit{similar shape}}\qquad \cfrac{s}{s}=\cfrac{\sqrt{s^2}}{\sqrt{s^2}}=\cfrac{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}{\sqrt[3]{s^3}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf \cfrac{small}{large}\quad \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{s^2}{s^2}}\implies \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{x^2}{(5x)^2}}\implies \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{x^2}{5^2x^2}}\implies \stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{\underline{x^2}}{25\underline{x^2}}}=\stackrel{area~ratio}{\cfrac{35}{a}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{25}=\cfrac{35}{a}\implies a=\cfrac{25\cdot 35}{1}

A scientist has 100 milligrams of a radioactive element. The amount of radioactive element remaining after t days can be determi
grandymaker [24]
The mass of the first shipment at time t is
m_{1}=100( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t}{10}}

The mass of the second shipment at time t is
m_{2}=100( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t-3}{10} }

At time t, the ratio of m₁ to m₂ is
\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} = \frac{100}{100}. \frac{(1/2)^{t/10}}{(1/2)^{(t-3)/10}} \\ =  \frac{(1/2)^{t/10}}{(1/2)^{t/10}}. \frac{1}{(1/2)^{-3/10}} \\ = (1/2)^{3/10} \\ = 0.8123

Therefore as a percentage,
\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}} =100*0.8123 = 81.23 \%

Answer: B. 81.2%
