Answer:

The word you are looking for is rotational symmetry and for that an octagon has orders of 8 (that is what you call the times it overlaps) I do not know what you mean on the swcong question

Explanation:

A way of finding out how many orders a shape has of rotational symmetry is by getting some tracing paper and tracing the shape. You then put your pencil on the center of the shape and count how many time the shape overlaps
