Derek is bored in math class and is drawing a flower. He first draws 8 points A1,A2,…,A8A_{1}, A_{2}, \ldots, A_{8} equally spaced around an enormous circle. He then draws 8 arcs outside the circle where the ii th arc for i=1,2,…,8i=1,2, \ldots, 8 has endpoints Ai,Ai+1A_{i}, A_{i+1} with A9=A1A_{9}=A_{1}, such that all of the arcs have radius 1 and any two consecutive arcs are tangent. Compute the perimeter of Derek's 8-petaled flower.
