What is the square root of an octagon?

Octagons don't have square roots.


How do you algebraically determine the perimeterof arectangular octagon inscribed in a circle of diameter 15cmEach side of the octagon is 6.9cm from the centre of the circle?

We know that an octagon is an eight-side polygon. Since each side has the same distance form the center of the circumscribed circle of the octagon, this octagon is a regular octagon. If we draw the radii of the circle (their endpoints there are at the vertexes of the octagon), we form 8 isosceles triangle, which radius represents two their congruent sides with a measure of 7.5 cm, and the distance drawn from the center of the circle to the sides of the octagon represents their altitudes with a measure of 6.9 cm. So, by using the Pythagorean theorem we can find the half of the side of the octagon, which is: 7.5)^2 - (6.9)^2 = 8.64 Since one half of the octagon side is square root of 8.64, the whole side is 2(square root of 8.64) Thus the perimeter of this octagon is approximately 47 cm [8 x 2(square root of 8.64)].


Do octagons have 10 sides?

No, octagons have only 8 sides. Here's a tip to help you to remember: the root of the word octagon is 'octo' which means 'eight'. An octopus has 8 legs and an octagon has 8 sides.

What is the width of a octagon with 8 panels at 24 width x 24 height?

The width of a regular octagon equals a side divided by the square root of 2 minus 1. The square root of 2 minus 1 is approximately 0.414213. 24 divided by 0.414213 = 57.9412
