Problem of the Week
for Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2012
The design for the Freedom Tower is shown below. If the length of the side of the squares on the ground floor and the 100th floor is 200 feet, what is the perimeter of the regular octagon on the 50th floor? Is the area of the 50th floor greater than, less than, or equal to the area of the ground floor? How do you know?
