Best Answer

Yes, all regular octagons are similar. All regular x-gons are similar, as long as the x is constant, as they must have the same angle measures to be regular.

All eight sided polygons are known as "octagons". Octagons that have all side lengths the same are known as "regular octagons".

regular ones do but not irregular


Do all octogons have the same number of lines of symmetry?

All regular octagons have the same number of lines of symmetry, but octagons with unequal sides would have fewer lines of symmetry.

Do irregular octagons have lines of symmetry?

They may have no lines of symmetry or they may have some - it all depends upon the shape of the irregular octagon. Only regular octagons have 8 lines of symmetry.


Can a semi-regular tessellation be made from octagons and rhombi?

Strictly speaking, no, because a semi-regular tessellation must be based on regular polygons and rhombi are not regular polygons. However, octagons and rhombi can be used to make a non-regular tessellation.


Do octagons have only obtuse angles?

No, not if it is a randomly-drawn 8-vertex shape. Octagons only have all- obtuse angles if it is a regular octagon, like the shape of a stop sign.


The addition of what shape will allow regular octagons to tessellate?

Squares.
