Good Evening Friends,
A fellow is wanting to build a gazebo with an inscribed diameter of 16' for an 8 sided structure.
How long should each side be?
Respectfully,

Good Evening Friends,
What, no mathematicians in the crowd?
Well here is the answer anyway.
the length of sides with an inscribed diameter of 1 ft. for an 8 sided polygon will be 4.9705". So for a structure with a 16' diameter would be 6' 7 9/16" in length for each side segment.

Damn, I was to slow, that was going to be my answer, took me a little longer, as I had to convert it from imperial to metric. then back again..... :D
