Challenging geometry math problems! Help, please!?

1. A stop sign (a regular octogon) can be formed froma 12 inch square sheet of metal by making four straight cuts that snip off the corners. How long, to the nearest .01 inch, are the sides of the resulting polygon?

2. The circle x^2+y^2=25 goes through A at (5,0) and B at (3,4). To the nearest tenth of a degree, find the minor arc AB (degree measure). (Note: "^2" means squared.)
Thanks so much! I forgot one though. A spider lives in a room that measures 30ft long, 12ft wide, and 12ft high. One day he sees a fly on the other side of the room. The spider was on an end wall, 1ft from the ceiling and 6ft from each of the long walls. The fly was stuck one foot from the floor on the opposite wall, also midway between each wall. Knowing some geometry, the spider took the shortest possible possible route and ate it for lunch. How far did he crawl? (Hint my crazy teacher gave: think about the different ways you can open the "box" and lay it out flat. the spider must crawl, not use a web!)

1. x(1+sqrt(2) ) = 12

x = 4.97 inch

2. AB = arctan(4/3) = 53.1 degree
