Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:t55

An octagon has 8 sides. If each of them has a length of x, then the perimeter is 8x which is twice the perimeter of the square. (The square has a perimeter of 4x)

A dodecagon is a 12 sided regular polygon. It will have 12 sides all of which are equal to x. Since the square has a perimeter of 4x and the dodecagon has a perimeter of 12x the perimeter of the dodecagon is 3 times that of the given square.
