Regular octagons have sides that are congruent. ... They also have congruent angles, which means that the measurement of all of the angles is the same, too. The interior angles of a regular octagon are all 135 degrees and the central and exterior angles are all 45 degrees.

How do octagons fit together?
The picture shows that the octagon is divided into 8 triangles. The sum of the angles in each of the triangles is 180^\circ. So adding up all of the angles of the eight triangles gives 8 \times 180^\circ. All of these angles give the 8 interior angles of the octagon together with the circle around the interior vertex.
Are regular octagons always similar?
It turns out all circles are similar. So are all squares. And if a pentagon, hexagon, octagon, or any other n-gon is regular, then it's similar to all of its regular like-sided n-gons as well. Just like equilateral triangles.
How do you know if a hexagon is congruent?
In order to be congruent, corresponding sides must be the same length. The regular hexagon has all side lengths with the same measure. The irregular hexagon does not have sides that are the same length.
What are an octagons angles?
Angles of an octagon:
An octagon has 8 exterior angles. The sum of the exterior angles of an octagon is 360°. Regular octagon: An octagon in which all sides and angles are equal. Each angle of a regular octagon is 135°.
Is it possible to tile a floor with octagons and squares?
We have seen that an equilateral triangle or a square will make regular tiling, but a regular octagon will not.
Why are there only 8 semi regular tessellations?
The reason there are only eight semi-regular tessellations has to do with the angle measures of various regular polygons.
How are octagons and triangles alike?
A regular octagon (one where all sides and angles have the same measure) can be cut into 8 congruent triangles just like you would cut a round pizza (or cake or pie) into 8 equal wedge portions. ... An equilateral triangle (one where all 3 sides are equally long) is a regular triangle.
Are 2 Rhombuses always similar?
In a Rhombus, the opposite sides are parallel, and hence the opposite angles are equal. But the value of those angles can be anything. So, it can very much happen that two rhombuses have different angles. Hence, all rhombuses are not similar.
What is similarity theorem?
The fundamental theorem of similarity states that a line segment splits two sides of a triangle into proportional segments if and only if the segment is parallel to the triangle's third side.
What is a congruent hexagon?
' A regular hexagon has six sides that are all congruent, or equal in measurement. A regular hexagon is convex, meaning that the points of the hexagon all point outward. All of the angles of a regular hexagon are congruent and measure 120 degrees.
What do you call a polygon with 11 sides?
In geometry, a hendecagon (also undecagon or endecagon) or 11-gon is an eleven-sided polygon. (The name hendecagon, from Greek hendeka "eleven" and –gon "corner", is often preferred to the hybrid undecagon, whose first part is formed from Latin undecim "eleven".)
