Calculating the area of the ascribed regular octagon.


Let the equal longest length of the both inscribed yellow triangles be x.


a = ⅛*180(8-2))

a = ⅛(180*6)

a = ½(45*6)

a = 135°

a is the single interior angle of the ascribed regular octagon.


sin(0.5*135) = (0.5x)/b

b = 0.54119610015x units.

b is the side length of the regular octagon.


c = 135-(0.5*45)-½(360-2(135))

c = 135-22.5-45

c = 135-67.5

c = 67.5°

c is the second bigger interior angle of inscribed triangle 21 square units.


2e² = (0.54119610015x)²

e = 0.38268343237x units.


f = 2e+b

f = 1.30656296489x unit.


tang = 0.38268343237x/(0.5*0.54119610015x)

g = 54.7356103174°


sin54.7356103174 = 0.38268343237x/h

h = 0.46868957116x units.


j = ½(f)

j = ½(1.30656296489x)

j = 0.65328148245x units.


k = 135-22.5-54.7356103174

k = 57.7643896826°


It implies;


Calculating x.


(0.5*x*0.65328148245xsin67.5)+(0.5*x*0.46868957116xsin57.7643896826) = 21+11


0.3017766953x²+0.1982233047x² = 32


0.5x² = 32

x² = 64

x = 8 units.

Again, x is the equal longest side length of the both inscribed yellow triangles.


Recall.


b = 0.54119610015x units.

And x = 8 units.

b = 0.54119610015*8

b = 4.3295688012 units.

Again, b is the side length of the regular octagon.


Recall.


f = 1.30656296489x unit.

And x = 8 units.

f = 1.30656296489*8

f = 10.4525037191 units.

f is the height of the regular octagon.


Recall Again.


e = 0.38268343237x

And x = 8 units.

e = 0.38268343237*8

e = 3.06146745896 units.


Therefore, Area Ascribed Regular Octagon is;


(b*f)+2(½(b+f)e)

= (4.3295688012*10.4525037191)+2(½(4.3295688012+10.4525037191)*3.06146745896

= 45.2548339966+(14.7820725203*3.06146745896)


= 45.2548339966+45.2548339969


= 90.5096679935 square units.
