What is the area of a regular octagon measuring 37 m on each side?

The formula for the area of a regular n-gon is
A=%28s%5E2n%29%2F%284tan%28180%2Fn%29%29

A=%28s%5E2n%29%2F%284tan%28180%2Fn%29%29

where
s is the length of any side
n is the number of sides

A=%2837%5E2%288%29%29%2F%284tan%28180%2F8%29%29

A=%2837%5E2%288%29%29%2F%284tan%28180%2F8%29%29

which is about 6610.1 m^2
