Answer: a) 1080 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation: Total sum of interior angles = (n - 2) * 180 degrees,

where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

In this case, the shape has 8 sides, so substituting n = 8 into the formula:

Total sum of interior angles = (8 - 2) * 180 degrees = 6 * 180 degrees = 1080 degrees.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

a) 1080 degrees.

To determine the total number of degrees for the interior angles of any polygon, we can use the formula:

Total degrees = (n - 2) * 180

where "n" represents the number of sides of the polygon.

In this case, we have a shape with 8 sides. Substituting this value into the formula, we get:

Total degrees = (8 - 2) * 180
Total degrees = 6 * 180
Total degrees = 1080

Therefore, the correct answer is a) 1080.
