if an octagon is 10 ft x 10 ft, how long would each side be ?

Question

If i build an octagon that is 10 ft square, how long would each side be ?

Answer 1

???????????? REGULAR POLYGON ?????????

8-side regular polygon... if eech side=1, hite=2.414214

wide=hite

kalkulate radius av serkel INSIDE the polygon=(sine/2)*tan(beta)

weer alfa=360 deg/n (number-sides)

& beta=(180-alfa)/2

for 8 sides, alfa=45 deg, beta=67.5deg & tan(beta)=2.4142135624

so if hite=10, side=10/2.414214=4.142134873
