Assuming the octagon is regular (all sides of equal length), there are two formulas that can be used to solve for the side length:

Area = 2(1+2.5)s2, where s is the length of a side.

Area = 8(2.5-1)r2, where r is the internal radius.

The radius r = 8 ft/2 = 4 ft.

Using the second equation, the Area =~ 53.019 ft2

Plug the Area into the first equation solve for s:

s2 = 53.019/2(1+2.5) = 10.9807

s = 3.3137 ft.
