Formulas for an equilateral octagon


Perimeter \(P\)

\(\displaystyle P = a · 8 \)

Area \(A\)

\(\displaystyle A = a^2 · 2 · (1+\sqrt{2}) \)
\(\displaystyle ≈a^2 *4.8284 \)
\(\displaystyle A = 2 ·sqrt{2} · ra^2 \)
\(\displaystyle ≈ra^2 *2.8284 \)

Lange Diagonal \(d\) berechnen

\(\displaystyle d = 2 · ra \)
\(\displaystyle d = \sqrt{4+2·\sqrt{ 2}} · a \)
\(\displaystyle ≈ 2.613 · a \)

Mittlere Diagonal \(e\) berechnen

\(\displaystyle e = 2 · ri \)
\(\displaystyle e = (1+\sqrt{ 2}) · a \)
\(\displaystyle ≈ 2.414 · a \)

Kurze Diagonal \(f\) berechnen

\(\displaystyle f = \sqrt{2} · ru \)
\(\displaystyle f = \sqrt{2+\sqrt{ 2}} · a \)
\(\displaystyle ≈ 1.848 · a \)

Incircle radius\(ri\)

\(\displaystyle ri=\frac{ 1+\sqrt{2} }{2} ·a\)
\(\displaystyle ≈ 1.207 · a \)

Circumcircle radius\(ra\)

\(\displaystyle ra = \frac{1}{2} · \sqrt{4+2·\sqrt{2}} ·a \)
\(\displaystyle ≈ 1.307 ·a \)
