if the cutout of each side is x, the side of the octagon is x√2.
Also, 2x + x√2 = 2, so
x = 2-√2
the octagon side s = 2(√2-1)
check: 2(2-√2) + 2(√2-1) = 2
area of octagon with side s = 2s^2 (1+√2)
so, for us, that is 2(1+√2)(2√2-2)^2 = 8(√2-1)
A square whose side is 2m has it's corner cut away so as to form a octagon with all sides equal find the length of each side of octagon and also find the area of the octagon?
