Question

To the nearest degree what is the measure of each exterior angle of a regular octagon

Answer 1

Each exterior angle = each central angle = 360 / #of sides.
Each exterior angle = 360 / 8
Each exterior angle = 45 degrees

Answer 2

The measure of exterior angle of regular octagon is 45°

Explanation:

Given the regular octagon we have to find the measure of exterior angle of regular octagon.

The formula to find the measure of exterior angle of regular octagon is

`(360)/(n)`

where n is number of sides.

Number of sides in octagon=8 sides

Hence, the measure of exterior angle is

`(360)/(8)=45^\circ}`
