What are the properties of a regular octagon?
A regular octagon has 8 sides similarly to an octagon. The name regular octagon means that all angles are the same, therefore inferring that all sides are of equal length.
How does a not regular octagon look like?
An octagon has eight sides. A regular octagon is one that has eight sides of equal length, and all the angles are of the same measure. Anything else - sides that are not all the same length, or not all angles the same - would be a non-regular octagon.
Is an octagon equal on all sides?
Only if it's a regular octagon.
Is an octagon regular or irregular?
An octagon can be either regular or irregular. A regular octagon in a 2-dimensional closed figure with eight sides, all of which are the same length. This means that all the angles are the same, too. An irregular octagon is a 2-dimensional closed figure with eight sides, but at least two of the sides are of different length. All sides can be of different lengths.
How do you find the perimeter of a regular octagon?
The perimeter of a octagon is the sum of all its sides.
Is a octagon a regular or irregular shape?
if it has all congruent sides, then it is regular
Are all sides of an octagon the same size?
Not necessarily. If all sides are the same size, and all angles are also the same, then it is called a "regular octagon". But an irregular octagon is still an octagon - the only requirement is that it have 8 sides.
Is an octagon an irregular shape?
An octagon can be an irregular shape, but a regular octagon has all sides and angles equal.
What is a octagon that is not regular?
An irregular octagon has eight sides, but they aren't all of equal length
Does a octagon have to have two pairs of parallel sides?
It depends on the actual shape of that octagon. It CAN have two pairs of parallel sides. A regular octagon has 4 pairs of parallel sides.
Is a polygon is an octagon?
If the octagon is a regular octagon (all eight sides and all eight angles are equal), then it is a regular polygon. If it is not a regular octagon (i.e. if it is an irregular octagon) then is it an irregular polygon.
Are the opposite sides of a regular octagon congruent and parallel?
Yes:As the shape is regular all sides are equal in length (and congruent).An octagon has 8 sides. As this is an even number of sides, the opposite sides are parallel.
