How do you draw a octagon? - Answers

Draw a line sideways for the top side then draw a diagonal going out on either end of the other line then draw a line downwards from that line then draw another diagonal line going inwards from the line before then draw a straight line across on that one then a diagonal line outwards on that line then do a line going up on the before then do a diagonal line inwards joining the before and the starting lineA quicker waydraw two equal sized squares. place one over the other (properly centered) and turn the top one 45 degrees (clockwise or counter-clockwise, your choice) draw along the edge of the top square where it crosses the exposed parts of the lower square. Remove the top square, erase the "points of the lower square and what remains is a perfect octagon.
