Answer:

B. 57\text{ in}^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been that apothem of a regular octagon is 4.2 inches and length of each side is 3.4 inches. We are asked to find the area of our given octagon.

We know that area of octagon is half the product of perimeter and apothem of the octagon.

\text{Area of octagon}=\frac{1}{2}\times (a\cdot p), where,

a = Apothem of octagon,

p = perimeter of octagon.

We will find perimeter of our given octagon by multiplying length of each side by 8.

\text{Perimeter of octagon}=8\times 3.4\text{ in}

\text{Perimeter of octagon}=27.2\text{ in}

\text{Area of octagon}=\frac{1}{2}\times (4.2\text{ in}\cdot 27.2\text{ in})

\text{Area of octagon}=\frac{1}{2}\times (114.24\text{ in}^2)

\text{Area of octagon}=57.12\text{ in}^2\approx 57\text{ in}^2

Therefore, the area of our given octagon is 57 square inches and option B is the correct choice.

The area of the regular octagon is calculated as half of the product of the perimeter and the apothem (ap), using the formula of the area of the regular polygon.
 We have then:
 A = ((p) * (ap)) / 2
 Where,
 p: perimeter
 ap: apotema
 Substituting values:
 A = ((8 * 3.4) * (4.2)) / 2
 A = 57.12 in ^ 2
 Answer:
 
the area of the regular octagon is:
 
B. 57

Miley’s music has a sale on music CDs. All music CDs are discounted 15%. Mariana’s receipt indicates that she saved $3 on her CD
Tcecarenko [31]

she saved $3, and we know the discount is 15%, so her savings is that 15%, thus we know 15% of that purchase is 3.


let's say the full price is x, and therefore the 100%, if we know 3 is the 15%, what is x?


\bf \begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 3&15\\ x&100 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{3}{x}=\cfrac{15}{100}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 100}{15}=x\implies 20=x

DB is a median (given). It goes from vertex point D to midpoint B. 

The point B is the midpoint of segment AC. So B cuts AC into two equal halves: AB and AC
Meaning AB = AC

AC = AB+BC ... segment addition postulate
AC = AB+AB ... substitution; replace BC with AB (valid because AB = AC)
AC = 2*AB
2*AB = AC
2*AB = 50 ... substitution; replace AC with 50
2*AB/2 = 50/2 ... divide both sides by 2
AB = 25 which is the answer
