Concept-  A regular octagon is indeed a closed figure with the same length sides and internal angles. It does have eight lines of reflective symmetry and order 8 rotational symmetry.
The view is from top of the surface. We know the sum of exterior angles will be Question Image.
For finding the angle subtended by each side we will simply divide the total angle into 8 parts.
Angle subtended at the center Question ImageWe first find area of one triangle and by which we can simply find the area of whole octagon, for this take a section of a triangle shown below and just dram a perpendicular bisector OX on line FE Question ImageQuestion ImageWe know the perpendicular bisector split the angle and side into two equal parts.
Question ImageQuestion ImageWhen applying the trigonometric function,
Question ImageWhen putting the value of Question Image in (1), we get
Question ImageWhen cross multiplying, we will get
Question ImageNow, area of triangle Question ImageTherefore, Area of regular octagon Question ImageHence, the correct answer is option 2) Question Image.
