The complete question is
The area of the regular octagon is 10.15 cm2.
What is the measure of the apothem, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a centimeter?
<h3>What is an Octagon ?</h3>A polygon with eight sides , eight angles and eight vertices is called an octagon.
If a is the Side of the octagon.
10.15 = 2(1+√2) a²
a² = 10.15 / [2×(1+1.414)]
a² = 2.10
a = 1.45 cm
Therefore the side = 1.45 cm
A = 8 × (a × h)/2
If we consider 8 equilateral triangles with
a = face of octagon
h = Apothem of octagon
10.15 = 8 × (1.45 × h)/2
h = 10.15 /4/ 1.45
h = 1.75 cm
Therefore the measure of apothem is 1.75 cm.
