The external angle of a polygon is equal to 360/n, n representing the number of sides in the polygon. Since an octagon has eight sides, the external angle of a regular octagon is 360/8 = 45 degrees. Since a straight angle in a polygon would be equal to 180 degrees, you subtract the measure of the external angle from this, to make an internal angle of 180 - 45 = 135 degrees.
obtuse
the completment of a 65 degree angle is 130
The supplement of 45 degrees is 135 degrees.
Each of the internal angles on a regular octagon measures 135 degrees.
In an octagon, the sum of all exterior angles is always 360 degrees. Therefore, each exterior angle of an octagon measures 360 degrees divided by 8, which equals 45 degrees. This means that each exterior angle of an octagon is 45 degrees.
An angle of 159 degrees is an obtuse angle
The number of sides of a regular polygon is 360 divided by the size of the exterior angle. The external angle is 180 - the internal angle. So for a regular polygon with an internal angle of 135 we get the following. 360 / (180 - 135) = 360 / 45 = 8 sides
Do 180-135 and you will get your answer.
right
Cut a 45 degree angle "going the other way".
you will have to construct a 135 degree angle first...but constructing a 90 degree with a 45 degree to give u the 135 degree angle and then using that as a reference, u will have to draw a 60 degree angle going counter clockwise from the 135 degree angle so that 135-60=55 degree...hahah I know it is confusing but if only i could show you...cz i mean visual is better than oral right !??! haha ^D^... hope i can help....
It is: 45 degrees

As the angle is between 90 degrees and 180 degrees, it an obtuse angle.
