The formula for the area of an octagon is Area = (2 + 2√2)a2, where a is the length of each side.
Area = (2 + 2√2)12ft2 = 695ft2
44499 sq ft (approx)
equal sides
An Octagon has 8 sides. The other more popular shapes are Hexagon which has 6 sides, a Pentagon which has 5 sides, a Square which has 4 sides and a Triangle which has 3 sides.
Numbers have square roots. Shapes don't.
Start with one octagon.Place an octagon along every other side of the first octagon. This creates square gaps which can be filled using the squares. At this stage the general pattern should be evident.

Of the four shapes mentioned, the octagon has the most sides. Square has 4 sides, hexagon has 6, pentagon has 5, and the octagon has 8.
Octagon.
An octagon is a square with the corners cut off, so it has 8 equal sides and all angles are the same, like an American Stop sign. If each edge of an octagon is 1 foot, then the area is 4.828 square feet (2+2root2). For an octagon with an edge length of x feet, the area would be 4.828 times x squared.

All of them have, except the pentagon and octagon.
A rhombic octagon. An ordinary regular octagon does have perpendicular sides. They do not meet in the outline of the octagon because they are alternate, but they are still perpendicular. However, in the same way that a rhombus is a distorted square, a rhombic octagon can have 4 pairs of parallel sides but no perpendicular ones.

A Square has 4 sides, the shape you want that has twice as many sides as this is called a Octagon. ( Oct = 8 - as in Octopus ).
An octagon has 8 sides. A shape with 6 sides is a hexagon.
