You're looking for c, so you want to isolate it or get it by itself. To get rid of the /3 you multiply since the opposite of division is multiplication and to get rid of it, you do the opposite (like -9 you would add 9 to get it to 0). Now you are left with -19+c = 24 (the 24 is 8*3 because what you do to one side you do to the other. Now you get c by itself so you add 19 to both sides which leaves you with C= 43. Sorry if this was confusing!
If the drawing of your octagon (or whatever) has been separated into triangles, and one triangle's area<span> is labeled, then you do not need to know the apothem. Just take the </span>area<span> of that one triangle, and multiply by the number of sides in the original </span>polygon<span>.</span>
It depends on the question
