Respuesta :

Answer: 4)90˚

Step-by-step explanation:

(90˚ is more towards the middle

A regular octagon is a shape with 8 congruent sides.

The minimum angle of rotation is 45 degrees

The number of sides of a regular octagon is:

[tex]\mathbf{n = 8}[/tex]

The total angle at the center of the regular octagon is:

[tex]\mathbf{\theta = 360}[/tex]

So, the minimum angle of rotation is calculated as follows:

[tex]\mathbf{\alpha = \frac{\theta}{n}}[/tex]

This gives

[tex]\mathbf{\alpha = \frac{360}{8}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\alpha = 45}[/tex]

Hence, the minimum angle of rotation is 45 degrees
