The answer is "A. greater than" because if the number of edges increase, the measure of each exterior angle increases too!

Hope this helps. :)

Answer: The answer is (A). greater than.

Step-by-step explanation: We are to compare the measure of each angle of a regular octagon with the measure of each exterior angle of a regular hexagon.

We know that each interior angle of a regular octagon is

o = 135°.

And the measure of each exterior angle of a regular hexagon is given by


h=(360^\circ)/(6)=60^\circ.

Since 135° > 60°, so the complete statement is

The measure of each angle of a regular octagon is greater than the measure of each exterior angle of a regular hexagon.

Thus, (A) is the correct option.
