360/8 = central angle;
180-central angle

180-base angle = umm.... filler stuff?
2 fillers and 2 bases = exterior
OpenStudy (amistre64):
360.. if i did it right
OpenStudy (amistre64):

112.5 ... maybe
OpenStudy (amistre64):
i see where I did it wrong
OpenStudy (amistre64):
180 - 135 = filler ....
180
135
----
45 = filler; *2 = 90; +135 = ext.
135
90
----
225 = ext angle
OpenStudy (amistre64):
i spose an easier calculation is:
360 -(180 - (360/#sides))
360 -180 +(360/#sides)
180 + (360/#sides)
