Math people out there: How would you solve this problem.

Okay, this was an extra credit assignment that my teacher gave out. I worked on it for a while (ALG 2 btw) and got a couple pages of notes, before finally getting it right.

I want to see how y'all would have progressed and done the problem.

You have a circle with a radius of 1. Inscribed within this circle is an octagon, each of the vertices's touching the edge of the circle. Determine the area between the vertices's and the circle (Or find the area of the circle and take from that the area of the octagon).
