    The perimeter of an octagon can be calculated by multiplying the length of a side with the number of sides (8), which is:

    Perimeter = n * s

    where s is the length of a side, and n is the number of sides

    However we are not given the measure of s, but we know the area of the octagon. To solve for s given the area, we can use the formula:

    Area = (s^2 n) / [4 tan (180 / n) ]

    where,

    Area = 10,391.9 square mm

    n = 8,

    Substituting the known values and calculating for s:

    10,391.9 = (8 s^2) / [4 tan (180 / 8) ]

    s^2 = 10,391.9 [4 tan (22.5) ] / 8

    s^2 = 2,152.232959

    s = 46.40 mm

    Therefore the perimeter is:

    Perimeter = 8 * 46.40 mm

    Perimeter = 371.2 mm
