A. 45 degrees. Smsmsnsmms

General Idea:

The measure of one of the central angles of a regular Polygon ([tex] \theta [/tex]) can be used using the below formula:

[tex] \theta=  \frac{360^{\circ}}{n}    \\\\Where: \\\; n\; is\; number\; of\; sides\; of\; regular\; polygon [/tex]

Applying the concept:

The measure of one of the central angles of a regular octagon.

The octagon have 8 sides, using the above formula we get...

[tex] \theta= \frac{360}{n} \\\\\theta = \frac{360}{8} = 45^{\circ}   [/tex]

Conclusion:

The correct option is A) 45 degrees
