A(n,s)=(ns^2)/(4tan(180/n)), n=number of sides, s=side length
A(8,4.6)=(8*4.6^2)/(4tan22.5)
A(8,4.6)=42.32/tan22.5 m (exact)
A(8, 4.6)≈102.17 m^2 (to nearest hundredth of a square meter)
By Pythagorean theorem
x²+GF²=EF² ( where G is the point of intersection of perpendicular lines)
now, GF=1/2 EF= 12
x²+12²=24²
x²=24²-12²
x²=432
x=√432
x=12√3
x≈20.78
