octagon with radius of 1.4m calculate the width of each side
Consider the octagon to be made up of 8 triangles each of which look like the image below:
Angle β is (180-45)/2 = 67.5°
Use the sin rule to get s
s/sin(45°) = 1.4/sin(67.5°)
s=1.4×sin360∘(45∘)sin360∘(67.5∘)⇒s=1.0715136106232696
s ≈ 1.07m
