The area of a polygon = n*side^2 / (4 * tan(180/n))
where "n" is the number of sides

Let's calculate area for side = 2
area = 8*2^2 / (4 * tan(180/8))
area = 32 / (4 * tan(22.5))
area = 32 / 4*0.41421
 area = 19.3138746047 

Now, let's calculate area for side = 6
area = 8*6^2 / (4 * tan(180/8))
area = 288 / 1.65684 
area = 173.824871442 

 173.824871442 / 19.3138746047 = 9

So, the area would be 9 times larger.

ALSO, looking at the formula
n*side^2 / (4 * tan(180/n))
we can see that the side length appears just once in the formula and we are to square it in the calculation. So, if we increase the side length is increased by 3, then the area increases by 3^2 or 9.

Venus Waldo reviewed her account statement and wanted to verify that the interest amount was correct. Her new balance was $12,09

Answer:

The interest on the savings account is $46.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the interest earned on the savings account.

The difference between the new and previous balance will be; 12,098.12 - 9,053.20 = $3,044.92

The difference between amount deposited and amount withdrawn is 3,298.45 - 300 = 2,998.45

This is the amount that is supposed to be on the account without interest

So the interest earned would be; 3044.92 - 2,998.45 = $46.47
