The number of tiles that cover up the perimeter of the octagonal arrangement of bricks form an
arithmetic progression,where
T
1
= (8a)0.25
= [8(0.7654)]0.25
= 24.4928
T
2
= (8a)0.25
= [8
]]0.25
= [8(0.8419)]0.25
= 26.9409
T
2
= (8a)0.25
= [8
]]0.25
= [8(0.9184)]0.25
= 29.3901
Common difference, d = 26.9409 24.4928
= 2.4481
= 29.3901 26.9409
= 2.4492
We assume that d = 2.44
S
20
= (202)[2(24.49) + (201) (2.44)]
= 953.4
Therefore the number of tiles = 953 tile

Based on the triangle, a can be find by using the equation
= 5.2720
a =
= 2.2961m
Given the formula of octagon , A=2(1+2)a
2,
, where a= side length
Area of the pavement = Area of outside octagon area of inner octagon
= 2(1 + a
2
2(1+a
2
= 2(1+) (2.2961)
2
2(1+) (0.7654)
2
= 22.627m
2
Area of one tile = length x breath
= 0.25 x 0.1
= 0.025m
2
Number of bricks required = 22.627/0.025
= 905.08
= 905 tile

Circular design
Pros Cons
Easy to design on a piece of paper Difficult to fill rectangle tile in circle
Easy to make a circle. A mason needs only a
piece of rope, stick and a pencil.
Difficult to calculate amount of tile needed to
fill in circle.
Octagonal Design
Cons Pros
Difficult to design on a piece of paper Rectangle tile can fit in octagon better than
circle.
Difficult to make an octagon. It requires many
steps to make an octagon.
Easy to calculate the number of tiles to fill in
octagon.
Further Exploration
A)
Based on the result in b) i) where a = 0.7654m. The area of inner octagon can be calculated by
using the formula A=2[2(1+2)a
2
]
The area of inner octagon = 2[ 2(1+2)(0.7654)
2
]
= 5.627 m
2
From the diagram, this octagon can be obtained
Based on the result in b) i) where a = 2.2961m. The area of 8 triangle or an octagon(octagon has
eight triangle) can be calculated by using the formula A=2(1+2)a
2
Area of outside octagon = 2(1+2)(2.2961)
2
= 25.4558 m
2
From the diagram, this 4 triangle can be obtained
Based on the result in b) i) where, a = 2.2961m.
The area for 4 triangle = [2(1+2)x2.2961
2
]
= 12.7279 m
2
From diagram this can be obtained 4 of this triangle can be obtained
sin 45 = x3
x = sin 45 (3)
= 2.1213m
cos 45 = y3
y = cos 45 (3)
= 2.1213m
area for 4 of this triangle = 4 [1/2 (2.1213) (2.1213) ]
= 9 m
2
From the diagram, this rectangle can be obtained
Interior angle of octagon = (8-2) (180)
= 1080
angle for each side in octagon = 1080/8
= 135
m = (135
= 22.5
n = 90-22.5
= 67.5
z = 5m 2.1213m 2.1213m
= 0.7574m
tan n = v/ (z/2)
tan 67.5 = v/ 0.3787
v = tan 67.5 (0.3787)
= 0.9143m
area of shaded region = area of rectangle area of 2 triangle
= 0.7574 (4.2426) 0.7574 (0.9143)
= 2.5209 m
2
Therefore, area of pavement = (2.5209 m
2
+ 12.7279 m
2
+9 m
2
+ 25.4558 m
2
) 5.627 m
2
= 44.0776 m
2
Number of tiles = 44.0776m
2
0.025m
2
= 1763.104
= 1763 tiles
(b)An altenative design for the pavement :
Reasons :
1. The design is very easy to make by mason.
2. The rectangle tiles fit very easily in the rectangle design.
3. The number of tile can be easily calculated.
4. The tile lay can be easily laid into the design. No big spaces will between tiles.
Reflection
With brilliant mind , comes great responsibility Mukhriz
While Im conducting my additional project, I learn that there are many undiscovered things
abundant around the the globe . And with knowledge, we can do anything to explore the
undiscovered amazing things and create a better world for everyone although we have to face
many challenges. But it is not the problem . Life is always have it ups and down . That is the
cycle of LIFE !
