Both, in a way. An octagon gets its name from the word meaning, "eight angles" so an octagon can have eight unequal sides. However, a regular octagon is a closed eight-sided figure with sides of the same length and internal angles of the same size.
Octagon just means it has 8 sides. Regular octagon means it has 8 sides of the same length and the angles are equal.
an octagon * * * * * An octagon need not have equal sides. For that it would have to be an equilateral octagon (though not necessarily regular).
An octagon has to equal 8 sides. Oct- means 8. So 8 sides.

No, octagons just have to be closed shapes with eight sides - the sides do not have to be of equal length.
It has 8 equal sides.
A regular octagon has eight equal sides, but in general the sides of an octagon don't have to be equal as long as there are eight of them.
