Is this a regular polygon?

Algebra Level 3

x + y + x + y + x y = 2018 |x|+|y|+|x+y|+|x-y|=2018 The graph forms a polygon which area is A A ,find A \lfloor A\rfloor

If y = 0 y=0 , then x = 2018 3 x=\dfrac{2018}{3}

If y = x y=x , then x = 2018 4 x=\dfrac{2018}{4}

This is an octagon by symmetry, so let

a = 2018 3 a=\dfrac{2018}{3}

b = 2018 4 b=\dfrac{2018}{4}

The area of the octagon can be computed as follows

A r e a = 8 1 2 b ( a b ) + 4 b 2 = 1347441.3333... Area = 8\cdot\dfrac{1}{2}b(a-b)+4b^2=1347441.3333...

This is not a regular octagon

8 1 2 = 8.5 8\frac12=8.5 ,you should type 8 × 1 2 8\times\frac12
