what is the size of the angle for a regular octagon?

devonhoward15 · Answer

360 degrees

will.h · Answer

I.guess we should divide 360/8 which is number of angles.  So 45 
Am not sure

triciaal · Answer

a circle is 360
the octagon has 8 equal sides 
what is the angle at the center

devonhoward15 · Answer

and then divide that by 8 and get 45

Oh not correct lol 360 is for a circle lol

Rotational Symmetry

A figure has rotational symmetry if it can be mapped onto itself by a rotation by any angle greater than 0º and less than 360º. Since there are 360º in a circle, a 360º rotation would map any figure onto itself. Both the degrees and the direction, either clockwise or counter-clockwise, of the rotation should be stated.
