We know that an octagon is an eight-side polygon. Since each side has the same distance form the center of the circumscribed circle of the octagon, this octagon is a regular octagon. If we draw the radii of the circle (their endpoints there are at the vertexes of the octagon), we form 8 isosceles triangle, which radius represents two their congruent sides with a measure of 7.5 cm, and the distance drawn from the center of the circle to the sides of the octagon represents their altitudes with a measure of 6.9 cm. So, by using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the half of the side of the octagon, which is:

7.5)^2 - (6.9)^2 = 8.64

Since one half of the octagon side is square root of 8.64, the whole side is 2(square root of 8.64)

Thus the perimeter of this octagon is approximately 47 cm [8 x 2(square root of 8.64)].

How do you find the measure of inscribed angles?

To find the measure of an inscribed angle in a circle, you can use the property that the inscribed angle is half the measure of the intercepted arc. Specifically, if the inscribed angle intercepts an arc measuring ( m ) degrees, then the inscribed angle measures ( \frac{m}{2} ) degrees. Additionally, if you know two inscribed angles that intercept the same arc, they will be congruent.
