Octagon:

Today Let's learn octagon shape. In geometry Octagon shape is a polygon which has eight sides and eight angles.

A regular octagon has sides of same length and each interior angles also measures same. You can also get help from geometry word problems. Some basic properties of octagon shape are:
  • We can draw 20 diagonals in regular octagon shape.
  • Each internal angles measures 1350.
  • We can divide a regular octagon into 6 triangles.
  • Sum of all internal angles of a regular octagon is 10800.
  • Each external angles measures 450.
Perimeter of an octagon is calculated using perimeter formula: means adding length of all sides of an regular octagon: P = 8a

This is all about properties of octagon.
