It depends on how you cut it as to how many sides the two new shapes would have. You could have two shapes, each with 6 sides (cut a stop sign vertically down the middle), or you could have two identical shapes with 5 sides (cut across the diagonal).

What is half an octagon?

Assuming you cut it at the angles, the answer is " A Polygon" of 5 sides, also called an irregular pentagon. If you were to cut the octagon along the straight lines, the answer would still be a polygon but then it would have 6 sides and be called an irregular hexagon. For example, cutting a stop sign vertically down the middle would give you a six sided polygon.

What degree of angle do you set a table saw to cut a 8 sided octagon?

To cut an 8-sided octagon, you should set your table saw to a 22.5-degree angle. This is because each internal angle of an octagon is 135 degrees, and the angle for the saw blade should be half of the exterior angle, which is 45 degrees. Therefore, cutting each side requires a 22.5-degree bevel.
