Regular Octagon
An eight-sided polygon with equal sides and angles is called a regular octagon.
Properties of Regular Octagon
Various properties of the regular octagon are,
- The sum of the interior angle is 1080°.
- It has 8 equal sides.
- It’s each interior angle is 135° and each exterior angle is 45°.
- There are 20 diagonals and 6 triangles formed.
- Its Perimeter is 8 x side.
Regular Polygon
Regular polygons are closed two-dimensional planar figures constructed entirely of straight lines. In contrast to a regular polygon, which is made up of solely straight lines of equal length, an irregular polygon has varied sides and angles. Polygons are two-dimensional geometric shapes with a fixed number of sides.
The sides or edges of a polygon are formed by linking end-to-end segments of a straight line to form a closed shape. The intersection of two line segments that result in an angle is referred to as a vertex or corner. A polygon is referred to be a regular polygon if its sides are congruent.
