In a regular polygon, the length of one side, s, is given by where:
s = the length of one side.
R = The distance from the centre to one vertex. This is the same as the radius of the circumscribed circle, or 15.8
n = The number of sides in the regular polygon. For this problem, we have an octagon, so n = 8.

The perimeter, P, of the regular octagon is n*s
