#### Work:
[Solution steps to be shown here]

#### Area: [Answer to be filled here] in²

**Explanation:**

- **Problem 18** requires the calculation of the length of each leg given specific information (not provided in the image) and the work steps leading to the solution should be shown under "Work".

- **Problem 19** involves determining the area of a kite using the given lengths of its diagonals. The area of a kite can be found using the formula:
  \[
  \text{Area of Kite} = \frac{1}{2} \times d_1 \times d_2
  \]
  where \( d_1 \) and \( d_2 \) are the lengths of the diagonals.

- **Problem 20** involves finding the area of a regular octagon given the lengths of the apothem and one side. The area of a regular polygon can be found using the formula:
  \[
  \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Perimeter} \times \text{Apothem}
  \]
  where the perimeter of the octagon can be calculated as \( 8 \times \text{side length} \).
