Math Problem Statement
Solution
To find the measure of one interior angle of a regular octagon, we can use the following formula for the measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon with sides:
For a regular octagon, :
Simplifying this:
- Calculate .
- Then, .
- Finally, .
So, the measure of one interior angle of a regular octagon is .
Explanation
This result follows from the fact that a regular polygon’s interior angles are equal, and we can calculate each one by dividing the total sum of the interior angles by the number of sides.
