2 is the answer to the question
Answer:
Explanation:
The area of the <em>octagon</em> may be calculated as the difference of the area of the original square and the area of the four corners cut off.
1) <u>Area of the square</u>.
The original square's side length is the same wide of the formed octagon: 10 cm.
So, the area of such square is: (10 cm)² = 100 cm².
2) <u>Area of the four corners cut off</u>.
Since, the corners were cut off two centimeters from each corner, the form of each piece is an isosceles right triangle with legs of 2 cm.
The area of each right triangle is half the product of the legs (because one leg is the base and the other leg is the height of the triangle).
Then, area of one right triangle: (1/2) × 2cm × 2cm = 2 cm².
Since, they are four pieces, the total cut off area is: 4 × 2 cm² = 8 cm².
3) <u>Area of the octagon</u>:
- Area of the square - area of the cut off triangles = 100 cm² - 8cm² = 92 cm².
And that is the answer: 92 cm².
Answer:
35 - m
Step-by-step explanation:
A tank containing 35 gallons of water is leaking at a rate of gallon per minute.
"m" represents the number of minutes spent
Number of gallons left in the tank = initial amount of water present – leaked amount of water
Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – number of minutes spent rate of leakage.
Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – m minutes 1 gallons per minute
