We know that the diameter of the inner circle (d) and the side of a regular octagon (s) are tied by the formula:

d = (1 +√2) × s

The inverse formula is:

s = d / <span>(1 +√2)

Plugging in numbers:
s = 7 (1 + </span>√2)
   = 2.9 ft

Therefore the correct answer is A) <span>2.9 feet</span>

Answer:

2.9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

I did it a different way. One including trigonometry. The question only tells the apothem, "diameter of the incircle." Apothem is the line segment from the center to the midpoint of segments in regular polygons. Incircle is a circle that connects all the midpoints in a regular polygon. You are trying to find the side. The angle of view is from the central angle, which is 45 degrees in an octagon. We have to split 45 in half, because when you try to find distance in a line segment, you do it through trig and trig requires a right triangle. Since you are finding the side, you need tangent. The angle of view (I don't know if that's the actual name), it touches the apothem, which would be adjacent. The line that the angle isn't touching is the  opposite. And tanganent uses both of those. The formula I used is tan(22.5)/1 = o/7. These are fractions. Then you cross multiply the fractions, so tan(22.5) goes with 7 and o goes with 1. When you cross multiply, you pretty much multiply the opposite fraction's side. The formula then would be o = tan(22.5) x 7. And that equals 2.9.

Which points can be connected to draw a line of symmetry through this diamond?
Makovka662 [10]

The line is drawn at point A and Point C is a line of symmetry because lines of symmetry make exactly two halves with similar shapes and sizes.

<h3>What is a line of symmetry?</h3>

It is defined as the line which will make exactly two halves with similar shape and size in geometry. For a two-dimensional shape, there is a line of symmetry, and for three-dimensional shapes, there is a plane of symmetry. In other words, if we make a mirror image of the shape around the line of symmetry, we will get exactly the same half portion.

We have given a figure in the picture.

The figure is a quadrilateral(a kite)

As we know, lines of symmetry make exactly two halves with similar shapes and sizes.

IF we draw a line from Point A to Point C we will get two similar and figures in size and shape.

Thus, the line is drawn point A and Point C is a line of symmetry because lines of symmetry make exactly two halves with similar shapes and sizes.
