An octagon has eight sides, in this case all the same length. Total length of eight sides = 40 cm. Length of each side = 40 divided by 8 equals 5 cm
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.
8 sides each 9 inches: 6 feet
A plane shape is regular if each of its sides is of the same length AND each of its angles is of the same measure. An octagon can be regular or irregular.
8 (measure of each side) x 8 (total sides of an octagon) = 64cm
If a regular octagon has a perimeter of 40cm, then each side is 5 cm.
12ft
If the permiter of a regular octagon is 8z-16, then the length of each side would be the perimeter / 8 or 2z-2
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.

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.
If the perimeter of the hexagon is 24 cm and it is regular, then each side has the same length, namely 24/6 or 4. Now that is also the length of each side of the octagon since they share a common side so its perimeter is 8x4=32 cm.
Octagon has 8 side. Total perimeter is 208 mm, hence each side = 208/8 = 26 mm

8 times 5 m = 40 metres.
