one way to do it is to first draw a rectangle around the octagon then multiply length by width then subtract the area of the four triangles out side the octagon from your total answer.
OR
You can use the formula A= 2 s2 cot(π/h)
π is supposed to be pi
s2 is supposed to be s squared
Cot is an abbreviation for cotangent

By Apothem LengthThe area of a regular octagon can also be computed using its measured apothem (a line from the center to the middle of any side). The formula for an octagon with side length s and apothem a is Area = a4s (apothem times one-half the perimeter)So for this example, (7 cm and 8.45 cm) Area = (8.45)(28) = 236.6 cm2----By Side LengthThe area of a regular octagon with side length s is given as Area = 4.828427 s2 , so for a regular octagon of side length 7 cm , the area is also about 236.6 cm2.(This formula is generated by adding or subtracting the missing corner triangles.)
By Apothem LengthThe area of a regular octagon can also be computed using its measured apothem (a line from the center to the middle of any side). The formula for an octagon with side length s and apothem a is Area = a4s . (apothem times one-half the perimeter)So for this example, (8 cm and 9.66 cm) Area = (9.66)(32) = 309.12 cm2----By Side LengthThe area of a regular octagon with side length s is given as Area = 4.828427 s2 , so for a regular octagon of side length 8 cm , the area is calculated as 309.02 cm2. (indicating an error from rounding the apothem length)(This formula is generated by adding or subtracting the missing corner triangles.)
Octagon
You don't find the "volume" of a flat figure. Perhaps you want its surface area.The area for a regular octagon of side "a" is 2 (1 + root(2)) a2, where "root" isthe square root function. If it is not a regular octagon, I don't think there is asimple formula to find the area - you'll have to split it up into simpler figures,for example triangles.==================================Answer #2:Here is the formula, to which the first answer alluded in passing,but which, for some reason, it did not explicitly present:Volume of an Octagon = 0 .
Assuming it's an octagon with equal sides (s = length of one side in feet) the formula is approximately: Area = 4.8284*(s2)
The formula for the area of a regular octagon is:A = 2 (1+ SQRT(2)) s**2 , orA = 4.8284 s**2where A= the area of the octagon, ands is the length of one side s**2 indicates s squared or s times s

an octagon doesn't have a volume its has and area ecause it is a 2-d figure. to find the area of a 2-d regular figure it is 1/2 apothem * perimeter (apothem is the distance of a line from the center of a polygon, to the midpoint of a side)
Area = ( 2 + 2√2 )a2
The formula for the area of an octagon is Area = (2 + 2√2)a2, where a is the length of each side. Area = (2 + 2√2)12ft2 = 695ft2
A=2 (1+(2)1/2) a2 where a is a side length(which is)A = 2(1 + sqrt2) S2
There is no formula for an octagon. There are formulas for figuring out different aspects of an octagon, such as its perimeter, diameter, etc.
