Answer:
309in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of an octagon is expressed as;
A=2(1+√2)a²
a is the side length of the octagon
Given
a = 8
Substitute into the formula
A = 2(1+√2)(8)²
A = 2(1+√2)(64)
Expand
A = 2(64+64√2)
A = 128+128√2
A = 128+128(1.414)
A = 128+181.01
A = 309in²
Hence the area of the octagon is 309in²
