You can turn a 12 x 12 foot (or inch) square into an octagon by measuring from the tip of each (90 degree) corner along the edge of each side 3 1/2 feet (or inches) to get the corners of your diagonal sides. You can also measure inward towards the center 2 1/2 feet (or inches, depending on the total desired size). Once you've drawn the sides, they should measure 5 feet (or inches) each.
1:Draw in the diagonals of the square. 2:Measure out from the centre of the square a distance of 6 ft along the diagonals towards each corner of the square and make marks. 3:You have 4 marks. Draw a line at right angles (90o) through each mark, to cut off the corners of the square. There's your octagon.

How do you draw an octagon?
There are several ways to draw an octagon. Here is a way to do so on a drafting board:First draw a circle with a diameter the same as the width of the octagon.Second use the T-square to draw two horizontal lines touching the top and bottom of the circle.Third use the right triangle to draw two vertical lines touching the right and left of the circle.And finally use the right triangle again to draw four lines touching the four "corners of the circle.The octagon is now made. Or you could do the same sort of thing by drawing a horizontal line, cross it with a vertical line then draw two 45 degree lines through their intersection. Then use a compass to mark equally spaced marks on each line, from the mid point, and draw lines like above. A third method is: Draw a square in the size of desired octagon and draw 2 diagonals through the middle (forms an X)Place a ruler from the crossing point to one corner and make a mark.Than place (turn) ruler parallel to the edge and make a mark of the previous measurementRepeat for each of the lines starting from the center of X and for both sides. It should give 8 marks in total. (4lines x 2 directions)Draw line between marks closest to each corner, forming triangles.

Is it possible to make 10'x10' square into a perfect octagon by cutting off the corners?
Yes, Snip isosceles right triangles off of the four corners of the square. Measure in from each corner 10/(2+sqrt(2)) inches. You will have a perfect octagon measuring 10/(1+sqrt(2)) inches per side.

Is it possible to turn a 24 in x 24 inch square into a perfect octagon by cutting off the corners. Please provide dimensions and picture if possible?
Yes, it is possible. Mark up points at 7.029 inches from each corner and join the two nearest to each corner. Strictly speaking, the distance is 24-sqrt(288) inches = 24-12*sqrt(2) inches = 12*[2-sqrt(2)] inches.
Is it possible to make 4 ft x 4 ft square into a perfect octagon by cutting off the corners and how Please provide Dimensions and picture if possible?
Yes. From each corner, measure out 4-2*sqrt(2) ft = 1.1716 ft = 1 ft 2.06 inches along the two adjacent sides. Cut from each of tese point to the next one around the vertex of the original square.
