Formulas:  Area:

Perimeter:  (A) = 2a2 (1+√2)

(P) = 8a

Ex: Find the perimeter of a regular octagon Ex: Find the area of a regular octagon having
having each side measuring 20cm. each side measuring 12cm

Given:
a = 20cm. Area (A) = 2a2 (1+√2), here a = 12 cm
= 2 x (12)2 (1 +√2)
Sol’n:
= 2 x 144 (1 +√2)
(P) = 8a
= 288 (1 +√2) = 289.41 cm
= 8 x 20cm
= 160 cm Given:
. a = 9cm, = 180⁰
