    A square, whose side is 2 cm, has its comers cut away so as to form a regular octagon, area of this octagon is -

    A) \[8\,\,(\sqrt{2}-1)\]

    B) \[2\,\,(\sqrt{2}+1)\]

    C) \[4\,\,(\sqrt{2}+1)\]

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let x be the length of cutted portion than \[2-2x=\sqrt{2}x\]
    \[x\,\,(2+\sqrt{2})=2\]
    \[x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}\,\,(\sqrt{2}+1)}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}\,\,\times \,\,\left( \sqrt{2}-1 \right)\]
    Area of octagon = Area of square - Area of \[4\Delta \]
    \[=2\times 2-4\,\,\times \,\,\frac{1}{2}.\,\,{{x}^{2}}\]\[=4-\frac{4\,\,\times \,\,1}{2}.{{\left[ \sqrt{2}\,\,(\sqrt{2}-1) \right]}^{2}}\]
    \[=4-4\,\,{{(\sqrt{2}-1)}^{2}}\]\[=4\,\,\left[ 1-2-1+2\,\sqrt{2} \right]\]\[=8\,\,(\sqrt{2}-1)\]
