1. find the equation to find the area of the given triangle:
(1/2 * base * height)
2. plug in give numbers into equation: (1/2 * 3.3 * 4) = 6.6
3. since the base of the triangle fits into one of the sides of the octagon, we can assume the triangle can be fit perfectly for each of the sides, completing the octagon. for this, multiply the area of the triangle by eight (amount of sides in an octagon). 6.6 * 8 = <u>52.8</u>
