Question

The formula S=P/n gives the formula for the side length s of a regular polygon with n sides and perimeter P. A regular octagon has 8 equal sides.

What is the side length of a regular octagon with a perimeter of 25.6 in.?

Answer 1

You just plug your numbers into the formula S=P/N

P = 25.6
N = 8

So P/N is 25.6/8 = 3.2

S (or side length) = 3.2
