Q:

The corners of a square of side ‘a’ are cut away so as to form a regular octagon. What is the side of the octagon?

A) a(√2 –1) B) a(√3 –1)
C) a/√2+2 D) a/3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) a(√2 –1)

Explanation:

Since we are forming a regular octagon

so AE = AL = FB = BG and so on

So AE = SB = x/√2

AE + EF + FB = side of square = a (Given)

So x/√2 + x + x/√2 = a

X = a/(√2+1) = a(√2 -1)
