Simple the Perimeter you just add the outside numbers. For area. When I look at an octagon I see a rectangle and two Trapezoids on either side of the rectangle. So find the area of each object then add the areas up and voila you got the area of a rectangle.

You cannot. The perimeter alone does not provide enough information unless the octagon is regular and there is no valid reason to assume that it is.
The area of a polygon is not enough to determine its shape - unless it is a regular polygon. There is nothing in the question to suggest that the octagon is regular.
If the sides are of length 4 units then the perimeter is 8*4 = 32 units. Its area is then 77.255 square units.

The perimeter of a octagon is the sum of all its sides.
The area of a polygon is not enough to determine its shape - unless it is a regular polygon. There is nothing in the question to suggest that the octagon is regular.
It is the sum of its 8 sides added together
If it's a regular octagon, the perimeter is 8 times the length of one side.
The perimeter is 56.
If the sides are of length 4 units then the perimeter is 8*4 = 32 units. Its area is then 77.255 square units.
It is the sum of the lengths of the octagon's eight sides.
