For a Regular Shape (all angles measure the same), you can split it up into triangles to find the total angle measures. For example, in a square, you can only split it in half, making 2 triangles (below). A triangle always measures 180 degrees, so for an octagon you would split it into triangles from one point. If you count the triangles, you will have 8 triangles. Now Multiple 8 by i80, and your sum of angles will be 1080°.If you then divide it by the sum of the angles in a triangle, or 180 degrees, you will find that 1 angle measures 135 degrees. This rule applies to all Regular Polygons. If you still don't get it,try the link below

Is a octagon greater than 120 degree angle why?
No. An octagon is a 2-dimensional closed polygonal shape: it is NOT an angle.
What is the measure of each angle in an octagon?
45 degree
What is the degrees for an angle of a regular octagon?
The sum of angles in degree = 180(n - 2), where n is the number of sides of the regular polygon. The sum of angles in degree = 180(n - 2); n = 8 The sum of angles in degree = 180(8 - 2) = 180(6) = 1,080 Angle in degree = (The sum of angles in degree)/n Angle in degree = (1,080)/8 = 135 Thus, in a regular octagon, the degree of an angle is 135.
What is the total angle measurement for an octagon?
Each angle is 45 degrees - eight 45 degree angles equals 360 degrees.
What degree cuts do you need to make an equal octagon from wood?
Each exterior angle is 45 degrees (interior angle = 135 degrees).

Degree of an angle in a regular octagon?
The sum of angles of a regular polygon in degrees = 180(n - 2), where n is the number of sides of the regular polygon. So, where n = 8 the sum of angles in degree = 180(8 - 2) = 180(6) = 1,080 Angle in degree = (The sum of angles in degree)/n Angle in degree = (1,080)/8 = 135 Thus, in a regular octagon, the degree of an angle is 135.

What is -- To the nearest degree what is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular octagon?
Each exterior angle of a regular octagon is 360/8 = 45 degrees
To the nearest degree, what is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular octagon?
45 degrees
What is the total angle measurement for an octagon?
Each angle is 45 degrees - eight 45 degree angles equals 360 degrees.
What is the degree of a 6 sided octagon?
An octagon has 8 sides, not 6, and each internal angle is 45 degrees. A hexagon has 6 sides, and the internal angle between each side is sixty degrees.
What degree cuts do you need to make an equal octagon from wood?
Each exterior angle is 45 degrees (interior angle = 135 degrees).
What degrees is a octagon?
Each interior angle of an octagon has an angle of 135 degrees.
Does an octagon or hexagon have a larger interior angle?
which to has a larger interior angle, octagon or hexagon?
What is the exterior angle of a octagon?
The external angle of a regular octagon is 225 degrees. Each internal angle of a regular octagon is 135 degrees.
