Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
1) Expand by distributing terms.

2) Collect like terms.

3) Simplify.

<em><u>Therefor</u></em><em><u>,</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>the</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>answer</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>is</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>2w</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>-</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>7</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>
A is the answer. It has no repeating x points buy it repeats on the y coordinate, which is okay. The answer is A just to say it again.
72/6 = 12
The awnser is x = 12
1+tan^2(A) = sec^2(A) [Pythagorean Identities]
tan^2(A)cot(A) = tan(A)[tan(A)cot(A)] = tan(A)[1] = tan(A)

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>
