For any regular polygon, where 'n' is the number of sides, each interior angle is [(180n - 360)/n], or rearranging to deal with smaller quantities, [180-360/n]. So for n=8 you get 180-45 = 135.
Number of interior angles in an octagon = 8
Therefore, each interior angle is 135.
Draw a circle, then two diameters at right angles (a cross centered in the circle). That gives you four vertices on the circle (one at the end of each diameter). Now bisect each of the cross angles with two more diameters.
Now you have cut the circle into 8 equal sections like a pie. Connect the ends of each section and you have an octagon.

How do you divide a circle in to 6th equal parts?
If you have a protractor: Draw a line from the center of the circle to the outside (radius), then measure 60 degrees and draw another line. If you have a compass: Draw a circle using the compass, then, using your compass, place the compass needle on the edge of the circle, draw another circle (KEEP THE RADIUS THE SAME). Your two circles should have two intersection points. Place the needle on one of the intersection points and repeat the process. I suggest you look at:
