An octagon has eight sides. You don't need complicated math to draw one, especially if you have established parameters such as a square or rectangular surface. To cut an octagon on a tabletop,<wm> start with the longest side. Make an angle in one corner and mark it at eight-point.
Then, make another mark for the next longest and mark at eight.
Make an angle at the next marked point and mark at eight. Make another, and that draws an angle where two points converge, and mark at eight.
Keep going until you complete your figure in sections so each section includes eight marks.
With the top layer cut out and cut at eight points in one corner. You're done and vo</wm>ila! You have an eight-sided figure drawn on a tabletop.
Draw and experiment using triangles, then
