Question

The regular octagon has a perimeter of 80 m. What is the length of one side of the octagon?
Please explain how you got the answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter of a regular octagon is 80 cm. How long is its each side?

Answer 2

Given - Perimeter

Find - Length of one side

Solution - Perimeter = number of sides*length of each side

Keep the values in formula to find the perimeter.

80 = 8*length

Shifting 8 to other side of equation

Length = $\frac{80}{8}$

Performing division

Length = 10 m

Hence, length of each side is 10 metres.
