Question

if two piece of string each 48cm long used to form a square and a octagon then the difference between the sides of squre and octagon is

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

length of one string =48cm

length of 2 strings =48x 2=96 CM

perimeter of squre and octagon = 96 CM

therefore side of squee = 96cm / 4 = 24 CM

side of octagon = 96/ 8 = 12 CM

difference between the sides = 24cm- 12cm = 12 CM
