Question

A square piece of sheet metal is to be used to make a stop sign. each side of the sheet metal is 50cm long. A triangle will be cut off each corner, leaving a regular octagon. which pair of equations can be used to calculate the length of each side of the octagon

Answer 1

Answer:

L = a √( 4 + 2√2)

Step-by-step explanation:

L = a √( 4 + 2√2) is the equation which can be used to calculate the length of each side of the octagon. In the equation i.e. L = a √( 4 + 2√2), in which ''a'' is the length of each side of the octagon. So by putting of ''a'' we get the length of each side of the octagon. The octagon is regular means all of its sides and angles are congruent or similar to each other. Each angle in the octagon has a measure of 135 degrees.
