Gee Reible, I would do it this way:
Draw a two inch circle on paper, divide 360 degrees by 8 like you did,
draw a straight line touching the circle and extend it way out. Draw another line farther around the circle to meet the first line at 22 1/2 degrees, extend it well out.
Continue doing this till you have closed in the circle.
Now you can measure the length of the octagon lines where they meet.
There y' go
