Question from Terry, a parent:

area of octagon deck? perimeter 128ft,distance from center to any side 19ft

Hi Terry. Take a look at http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.01/laurie2.html

It calculates the area of a 12' across octagon. Yours is 38 feet across. Just use that instead.

Cheers,
Steve.
