2(1+sqrt2)*(S^2)
thats the formula. you need to remember these..
just plug in the sides length and get the answer.

The formula for area of a regular octagon is given as follows,
Area of a octagon = side2×(2+2(2√)).
For an irregular octagon, it is not possible to find it's area with the help of a single formula. So, it has divided in to other regular polygons and then, the areas of all polygons should be added to get its area.
