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:
264 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
since the two bases are 20 and 24, the shorter base is usually the shorter number, so the shorter base is 20 units. Which means, the longer base is 24 units. So, half of 24 is 12. So, the height is 12. Then I used to calculator, my results are in the picture below.
