The base of the right triangle drawn in the regular octagon measures 07 cm What is the perimeter of the octagon class=

Respuesta :

just took the test, its 11.2

we know that

the perimeter of the regular octagon is equal to

[tex]P=8b[/tex]

where

b is the length side of the regular octagon

In the right triangle of the figure

[tex]\frac{b}{2}=0.7[/tex]

Solve for b

[tex]b=2*0.7=1.4\ cm[/tex]

substitute the value of b in the formula

[tex]P=8b=8*1.4=11.2\ cm[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

the perimeter of the octagon is [tex]11.2\ cm[/tex]
