Alright, so I have a question that says this:
1 answer:
Octogon
sides=4
draw lines from the outside angles to the center so they form 8 equal triangle sections
find the area of each triangle and multiply by 8
area of triangle=1/2 base times height
base=4
the height is the distance from the center of one side of the octogon, to the center=5
so area=4 times 1/2 times 5=4 times 5=10
8 triangles so 8 times 10=80
the answer is 80cm^2
the diagram included below shows area for a pentagon

Answer:
10 Square Inches
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Trapezoid</u>
Base =12 inches
Height =10 inches
Top side= 10 inches.
Area of a Trapezoid
Area of the Trapezoid=110 Square Inches
<u>Rectangle</u>
Base = 12 inches
Height =10 inches.
Area of a Rectangle=Base X Height
=12 X 10
=120 Square Inches
<u>Difference in Area between the two packages</u>
Difference=Area of Rectangle-Area of Trapezoid
=120-110
=10 Square Inches
