The diagram below shows a square inside a regular octagon. The apothem of the octagon is 13.28 units. To the nearest square unit, what is the area of the shaded region?

Area of shaded region is 463 square units.
Area of octagon = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × [tex]8[/tex] × base × height
The apothem of any polygon is equal to the line that connects the center of the polygon with one of its sides perpendicularly. Using the apothem, we can calculate the area of the polygons in an easier way.
Given
Apothem of the octagon = 13.28 units
Base of octagon = 11 units
Area of octagon = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × [tex]8[/tex] × base × height
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × [tex]11[/tex] × [tex]13.28[/tex] × [tex]8[/tex]
= 584.32
Area of square = side × side
= 11 × 11
= 121
Area of shaded region = Area of octagon - Area of square
= 84.32 - 121
= 463.32
≅ 463 square units.
Hence, area of shaded region is 463 square units.
