How many sides does a regular octagon have?
A regular octagon has 8 sides.
Does an octagon always have perpendicular sides?
No! An Octagon that is not regular can have 8 lines that meet at any angle provided that they ultimately create an 8 sided enclosed shape.A regular Octagon, however, will always have pairs of sides that are perpendicular. In a regular Octagon the interior angles must all be equal and must sum to 1080 degrees (6 x 180 degrees). Accordingly the interior angles will all equal 135 degrees. As a consequence the exterior angles equal 45 degrees and since two exterior angles equal 90 degrees every side will be perpendicular to the sides that are adjacent but one in either direction. Likewise opposite sides (4 exterior angles apart) will be parallel.ThanksNoob headIf it is regular, yes. Each side of a regular octagon has two other sides that are perpendicular to it.
Are all sides of an octagon the same size?
Not necessarily. If all sides are the same size, and all angles are also the same, then it is called a "regular octagon". But an irregular octagon is still an octagon - the only requirement is that it have 8 sides.
A regular octagon with sides 5 inches?
Yes, it can exist.
What do mathematicians call a regular polygon with eight sides?
Octagonoctagon
Are the adjacent sides of a regular octagon parallel and congruent?
No. It is the opposite sides of a regular octagon that are parallel and congruent.
How many sides does a regular octagon have?
A regular octagon has 8 sides.
Does a hexagon have adjacent angles?
a hexagon could be adjacent only if it is regular an octagon is adjacent
What do the mathematics call a regular polygon with eight sides?
A polygon with eight sides, regular or not, is an octagon. There isn't a special name for a regular octagon (other than "regular octagon").
How many parallel sides does a regular octagon have?
A regular octagon has four pairs of parallel sides.
What are the properties of a regular octagon?
A regular octagon has 8 sides similarly to an octagon. The name regular octagon means that all angles are the same, therefore inferring that all sides are of equal length.
Does an octagon have equal adjacent angles?
The term octagon means an 8 sided geometrical figure; if the sides are all the same length and the angles are all identical, it is then called a regular octagon. Irregular octagons are also possible.
How many sides does the regular octagon has?
8 sides. octagon is referring to the number eight.
Does a irregular octagon have 8 congruent sides?
No, a regular octagon has 8 congruent sides
How many angels does an octagon have?
a regular octagon has eight sides
How many side does an irregular octagon have?
It still has 8 sides the same as a regular octagon.
Does a octagon have to have two pairs of parallel sides?
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.
