No not just any shape that has 8 side can be called an octagon. An octagon has straight lines that make up a closed bounded shape.
The number of degrees in any geometric shape is 180*(n-2) where n is equal to the number of side. Since an octagon has 8 sides, there would be 180*6 or 1080 degrees total in the entire shape.
octa- is the prefix meaning "eight". An octagon is any eight-sided figure. The shape of a stop sign is a popular example of an octagon.8. An octopus has 8 legs, octuplets means having 8 babies is one delivery, oct generally means 8.
Any even-sided, regular shape will have opposite sides parallel. A square, hexagon, octagon and decagon are just four examples !
An octagon has eight sides, which means it also has eight angles. The sum of the interior angles of any polygon can be found using the formula (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides. For an octagon, this would be (8-2) * 180 = 1080 degrees. Each angle in a regular octagon measures 135 degrees.
An octagon need not have any sides that are vertical.
No, an octagon.
It is called an octagon and an irregular octagon can take any shape.
Any shape that is an 8 sided figure is called an octagon

It depends how long each side is. An octagon's sides do not have to all be the same length, they can vary from octagon to octagon. A regular octagon's sides are all equal so the sum of their measures would be 8 times the length of any one side..

On a regular polygon (the octagon that was represented to you in grade 2), its usually 45 degrees. Although, an octagon is any polygon with eight sides so it doesn't have to be regular, it can be any shape with sides. So it may be different for your octagon.
A convex polygon, including an octagon, is a 2d shape such that any straight line joining any two points on its boundary lies wholly within the shape. This is assured if each of its interior angles is less than 180 degrees.

For planar shapes, an eight sided polygon (also simply octagon) is any shape with eight straight sides it does not have to be equilateral (same length on all sides) or equiangular (same angle on all sides) as the regular octagon is.If you are talking about 3 dimensional shapes the terms are polyhedron & octahedron
Any length greater than zero.
It depends on the actual shape of that octagon. It CAN have two pairs of parallel sides. A regular octagon has 4 pairs of parallel sides.
