The apothem of a regular octagon is tripled. what is the answer?

Answer 1

Are you asking what happens to the area of the polygon if the apothem is tripled ?

If so,....

A=a^2*n*tan(180/n) is the formula for the area of a regular polygon given the apothem, a, where n is the number of sides.

triple the apothem

A=(3a)^2*n*tan(180/n)

A=9a^2*n*tan(180/n)

you can see that the area is now 9 times the original area
