    An example of an octagon is a stop sign. If you draw vertical lines between the top and bottom segments, and horizontal lines between the two vertical segments, you'll end up with four rectangles at the top, bottom, left and right. You'll have one square in the middle and four equilateral right triangles at the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right. All you have to do is figure out the area for each of these geometric figures (in terms of the length of a side) and add them together.
