Answer:

The length of each side of the Octagon is 6 centimeters

Explanation:

An Octagon is an 8 sided polygon

The perimeter of the octagon can be obtained by the addition of all the sides of the octagon

Since it is a regular octagon, it means that all the sides are of equal length

Mathematically, what this mean is that the perimeter of the Octagon is simply 8s

where s is the length of the side of the Octagon

Thus, mathematically, the length of each side of the Octagon will be 48/8 = 6 centimeters
