The perimeter is 56.
By using the definition of "perimeter": you need to add the lengths of all eight sides. If it is a REGULAR octagon, you multiply the length of any side by 8, since all sides have the same length.
You say these things to yourself: -- "The perimeter is the distance all the way around the octagon." -- "The octagon has eight sides." -- "So, if it's a 'regular' octagon, then all the sides are the same length, and each side must be 1/8 of the perimeter." -- If it's not a 'regular' octagon, then it has some longer sides and some shorter ones, and the perimeter doesn't help me find the lengths of the sides.
The perimeter of a octagon is the sum of all its sides.
we make the assumption that all sides are equal length, that is to say it is a regular octagon. Then one side has length 12 if 2 sides have length 23. So the perimeter is 8x12=96 cm
To find the length of each side of a regular octagon with a perimeter of 56, we divide the perimeter by the number of sides. Since an octagon has 8 sides, we divide 56 by 8 to get 7. Therefore, each side of the regular octagon is 7 units long.
Assuming that the perimeter of the regular octagon is 32 inches, and since it has 8 sides, then the length of one side of the figure is 32/8 or 4 inches.
The perimeter of an octagon is 64 only if it is a regular octagon and the length of one side is 8. An irregular octagon may or may not have a perimeter of 64 (whatever units of measure you choose to use) depending on what the lengths of the individual sides are.
An octagon is an eight-sided figure. If a regular octagon has a perimeter of 24 inches, then each side will be 24 / 8 = 3 inches.
Area in square units = 0.5*(apothem)*(perimeter)
112 inches, that is if all the sides are the same length .I think.
An octagon has 8 sides, thus the equation would be 8 x 7 = 56. So the perimeter would be 56 yards.
8 sides each 9 inches: 6 feet
