Answer:
18.25
Step-by-step explanation:
......ur welcome.............
X + 4x = 40
5x = 40
5x/5 = 40/5
x = 8
1x 8 = 8
4x 8 = 32
Check=
8 + 32 = 40
The numbers are 8 and 32
As shown in the figures given :
For Figure 1 : perimeter = 8 units [As can be seen in the figure]
For figure 2(with 2 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 2 - 1 = 15 units [since 1 side is common ]
For figure 2(with 3 octagons) : perimeter = 8 × 3 - 2 = 22 units [since 2 sides is common ]
If one more octagon is added
then perimeter = 8 × 4 - 3 = 29 units [since 3 sides will be common ]
