You didn't specify 'out of what' so I will approach this from the point of view on how to determine the angles of the pieces. If it is a single board, the angles would be 45 degrees (360 deg. to a circle / 8 sides). Starting with a circle drawn with a compass or trammel points would help with accuracy when laying out. If it is to be made of straight parts, 8 pieces would have angles of 22.5 degrees on each end. When put together, each pair will form a 45 deg. angle. In order to not be lop-sided, each piece must be exactly the same length.

Does an octagon have a right angle?

An octagon is any polygon with 8 sides, so you could construct one with a right angle. Since the sum of the angles in an octagon is 1080°, you could construct one with one or more right angles.In a regular octagon, all sides and angles are equal. (Each angle = 135°, which is not a right angle).You can go to the Math Openref website in the related link and play around with polygons of different number of sides, and see how the angles change.If you cannot get to that site then think about this. It is a large square with two of the corners 'notched out' with smaller squares. It has 8 sides, and there are 6 angles of 90°, and 2 angles of 270° (a reverse right angle) Ignore the periods, I needed them to space out the figure:. ____|. . . || . . ._||_._| ..
