How do I find the area for this? Not looking for a complete solution, just the formula ;)
Also, second question, I'm giving the areas of two octagons, 81 and 144, and asked to find the ratio of their apothems, how do I do that?

If two similar shapes have sides ( or any other similar line measurements) in the ratio p:q then the areas will be in the ratio p^2:q^2. Here you are given the ratio of the areas so can work back to ratio of lengths. The ratio of volumes would be p^3:q^3
