1. **Problem 10:** Find the area of a regular octagon with apothem length 26.
2. **Formula:** The area $A$ of a regular polygon is given by
$$A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Perimeter} \times \text{Apothem}$$
3. For a regular octagon, the number of sides $n = 8$.
4. The apothem $a = 26$.
5. To find the perimeter $P$, we need the side length $s$. The apothem relates to the side length by
$$a = \frac{s}{2 \tan(\pi/n)}$$
6. Rearranging to find $s$:
$$s = 2a \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{n}\right) = 2 \times 26 \times \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)$$
7. Calculate $\tan(\pi/8)$:
$$\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) = \tan(22.5^\circ) \approx 0.4142$$
8. So,
$$s = 2 \times 26 \times 0.4142 = 52 \times 0.4142 = 21.53$$
9. The perimeter is
$$P = n \times s = 8 \times 21.53 = 172.24$$
10. Now calculate the area:
$$A = \frac{1}{2} \times 172.24 \times 26 = 86.12 \times 26 = 2239.12$$

11. **Problem 11:** Find the area of the shaded region inside a circle of radius 11 with an inscribed regular polygon.
12. Since the polygon is inscribed, the radius $r = 11$ is the circumradius.
13. The problem does not specify the polygon type, so assume a regular polygon with $n$ sides (not given). Without $n$, we cannot find exact area.
14. If the polygon is regular with $n$ sides, the area is
$$A = \frac{1}{2} n r^2 \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{n}\right)$$
15. Without $n$, the problem is incomplete. Assuming the polygon is a regular hexagon (common), $n=6$:
16. Calculate
$$A = \frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 11^2 \times \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{6}\right) = 3 \times 121 \times \sin(60^\circ)$$
17. Since $\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.866$:
18. So,
$$A = 3 \times 121 \times 0.866 = 363 \times 0.866 = 314.36$$

19. **Problem 12:** Find the area of the shaded region inside a circle of radius 20 with an inscribed regular pentagon.
20. Given $r = 20$ and $n = 5$.
21. Use the formula for area of a regular polygon inscribed in a circle:
$$A = \frac{1}{2} n r^2 \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{n}\right)$$
22. Calculate
$$A = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 20^2 \times \sin\left(\frac{2\pi}{5}\right) = \frac{5}{2} \times 400 \times \sin(72^\circ)$$
23. $\sin(72^\circ) \approx 0.9511$
24. So,
$$A = 2.5 \times 400 \times 0.9511 = 1000 \times 0.9511 = 951.06$$
**Final answers:**
- Problem 10 area: $2239.12$
- Problem 11 area (assuming hexagon): $314.36$
- Problem 12 area: $951.06$
