Regular Octagon
Math check: area = 2(1 + sqrt(2))s^2
Result
Enter a side length to compute octagon properties.

Formulas

A = 2(1 + sqrt(2))s^2
P = 8s
apothem = (1 + sqrt(2))s / 2

How to Use It

  1. Enter a positive side length.
  2. Read the octagon area, perimeter, and radii.
  3. Use the diagonals to check fit and spacing.

Worked Example

If the side length is 5, the perimeter is 40 and the area is about 120.7107.

The circumradius and inradius follow directly from the side length.

Notes

A regular octagon has several diagonal lengths; this calculator reports the three common chord lengths by vertex separation.
