Archimedes, approximation to 427 3. First note that triangle ABD and triangle BEF are similar. Also note that BE =s/2-s812. Use these facts to show that = s 4. Next note that triangle ACF and triangle CFG are similar. Use this fact to show that s,12 1 8-4 or 2 Having related the side lengths of the various polygons, we now relate the perimeters of the polygons. We let S4 = 484 be the perimeter of the circumscribed square, T4 44 be the perimeter of the inscribed square Sg 8sg be the perimeter of the circumscribed octagon, and Ts-81g be the perimeter of the inscribed octagon. Use these definitions in Steps 3 and 4 to show that 5. 4 +T an
