Correct Answer: $3\sqrt{11}-7$
Solution : Given: The length and breadth of a rectangle are 8 cm and 6 cm, respectively. The rectangle is cut on its four vertices such that the resulting figure is a regular octagon. Let the sides of the octagon be $a$ cm. From the figure, we get, $a^2=\frac{(8–a)^2}{4}+\frac{(6–a)^2}{4}$ ⇒ $a^2=16-4a+\frac{a^2}{4}+9-3a+\frac{a^2}{4}$ ⇒ $a^2=\frac{a^2}{2}+25-7a$ ⇒ $a^2+14a-50=0$ Solving this, we get, $a=(3\sqrt{11}-7)$ cm Hence, the correct answer is $3\sqrt{11}-7$.
