What is the length of each side of an octagon that is 48 inches in diameter?
Since the diameter is 48 inches, and there are 8 sides, then each side will be 48/8 = 6 inches.
What is the area of an octagon that has a side length of 2.45m?
The area of an octagon that has a side length of 2.45m is about 29m2
What is the length of one side of an octagon if the perimeter is 6 feet?
The length of one side of an octagon, if the perimeter is 6 feet, is 9 inches.
How do you find the perimeter of an octagon if you know the diameter?
I presume by diameter of an octagon you mean the length of the diagonal between opposite vertices of a regular octagon. By completing all the diagonals between opposite vertices of a regular octagon, it divides it up into 8 equal isosceles triangles, with their apexes at the centre of the octagon. The two sides of these isosceles triangles which go from a vertex of the octagon to the centre has a length half that of the diameter. If the centre point of each side of the octagon is joined to the centre of the octagon, each of the 8 isosceles triangles above are split into two (congruent) right angled triangles. The angle at the centre of the octagon of each of these triangles is (360° ÷ 8) ÷ 2 = 22.5°. The side opposite this angle is half the length of the side of the octagon and so the perimeter is 16 times its length. The hypotenuse of the right angled triangles is half the diameter. Thus the trigonometric sine function can be used to find half the octagons side length, and thus its perimeter: sin = opp/hyp → opp = sin x hyp Perimeter = 16 x opp = 16 x (sin 22.5° x diameter/2) = diameter x 8 x sin 22.5° ≈ diameter x 3.061 This can be generalised to any regular even sided polygon if diameter is defined as the length of the diagonal between opposite vertices (which is also the maximum straight line distance between two points on the perimeter): perimeter = diameter x number_of_sides x sin(180° ÷ number_of_sides) As the number of sides increases, "number_of_sides x sin(180° ÷ number_of_sides)" gets closer and closer to π.
What is the length of one side of the smallest square that a plate with a 12-inch diameter will fit into?
12 inches.
What is octagon side length?
The side length is the diameter multiplied by tan22.5. S=Dtan22.5
How long is each side of a 5 inch diameter octagon?
The length of a single edge of an octagon can be calculated by measuring the diameter, then dividing this length by the square root of the sum of four and two times the square root of two, which would be written in a calculator as sqrt(4+(2*sqrt(2))). In this case, a five inch diameter equates to approximately 1.913 inches per side.
What is the diameter of an octogon when each side is 18 inches in length?
An octagon is a polygon with 8 sides. To find the diameter of a regular octagon when each side is 18 inches in length, you can use the formula: Diameter = Side length × √(2 + √2) Plugging in the given side length (18 inches): Diameter = 18 × √(2 + √2) ≈ 56.97 inches So, the diameter of the octagon is approximately 56.97 inches.
How long is each side of an 11.25 inch diameter octagon?
Polygons do not have diameters. Is the 11.25" from one point to the opposite, or from one side straight across? The two are quite different and will give a different answer for the side length.
What is the length of each side of an octagon that is 48 inches in diameter?
Since the diameter is 48 inches, and there are 8 sides, then each side will be 48/8 = 6 inches.
What is the area of an octagon that has a side length of 2.45m?
The area of an octagon that has a side length of 2.45m is about 29m2
What is the diameter of an octagon if the side are 12feet?
24 feet?
What is the length of one side of an octagon if the perimeter is 6 feet?
The length of one side of an octagon, if the perimeter is 6 feet, is 9 inches.

How do you find the length of a side of an octagon?
measure it!
What is the length of one side of a octagon if its perimeter is 128 cm?
perimeter of octagon is 128 cm= 8 * side side of the octagon=128/8=16 cm
