Octagon Calculator
Calculates side, area, perimeter, and apothem of a regular octagon.

What Octagon Calculator does
The Octagon Calculator on Pi Day Calculators determines the dimensions of a regular octagon when provided with a single measurement, such as side length, apothem, or radius. It computes the perimeter, area, apothem, diagonals, circumradius, and inradius using established geometric formulas. The output provides a full set of metrics for the shape, making it useful for quick dimension calculations. The site presents a clean interface with labeled input fields for side length, apothem, or radius, and the results are displayed clearly alongside the relevant formulas. Unlike some other tools that may require multiple steps or specific unit inputs, this calculator accepts a primary measurement and systematically derives all other dimensions, offering a comprehensive set of metrics in one place.
