Octagon With Different Length Sides. Perfect if you for example want to build your own poker table. If you label “a” as the length of one side of an octagon, then the sides of the large square are \(a\sqrt{2}+1\).
How to construct a pentagon using just a compass and a straightedge. Sqrt(x 2 + x 2) = sqrt(2) x. Therefore, perimeter = sum of all sides = 8a
For a hexagon, it will be 60.
How to construct a pentagon using just a compass and a straightedge. Measure all sides of the area in one unit (feet, meter, inches or any other). The perimeter of the octagon is the length of the sides or boundaries of the octagon, which forms a closed shape. All sides can be of different lengths.
