Find the number of degrees in each angle of a regular octagon.
-----------
Draw a picture of an octagon.
There are eight exterior angles.
The sum of those 8 angles is 360 degrees
Each exterior angle is 360/8 = 45 degrees
-------------------------------
Each interior angle is the supplement of an exterior angle.
Each interior angle is 180-45 = 135 degrees.
