Subtract the thickness of the covers from the total thickness of the 500-pages book. Since each cover is 0.125 inches thick, double this value and subtract from 2.25 inches. This results to 2 inches. To determine the thickness of each of the pages, divide 2 inches by 500 pages. Therefore, the thickness of a single page is 4x10^-3 inch.
Given:

In the given figure, PS=x, RS=35, UV=20, VW=25 and TW=15
To find:
The scale factor from PQRS to TUVW.
Solution:
We have,

We know that the corresponding sides of similar figures are proportional. The scale factor is the ratio of one side of image and corresponding side of preimage.
The scale factor is:



Therefore, the scale factor from PQRS to TUVW is
.
The area of the regular octagon is calculated as half of the product of the perimeter and the apothem (ap), using the formula of the area of the regular polygon.
We have then:
A = ((p) * (ap)) / 2
Where,
p: perimeter
ap: apotema
Substituting values:
A = ((8 * 3.4) * (4.2)) / 2
A = 57.12 in ^ 2
Answer:
the area of the regular octagon is:
B. 57
