Mixing units or scales across side length before calculating area.
Rounding too early when the area still feeds another step.

Example

6 units gives Area 173. 82.

Formula

area = (8 x side^2) / (4 x tan(pi / 8))

This regular-polygon area formula uses one side length and the polygon's fixed number of sides.
