Well if it's a regular octagon then it actually trisects each side of the square in which 1/3 of the lenght of the side of the square is the length of one side of the octagon. If any one has a doubt he can draw the figure and see it\nGoing this way lenght of a side of a octagon is a/3 and thus perimeter would be 8a/3. The answer: (A).
