    Well right here the answwer is 45°; 67.5° and let me explain why is it like this: There are 8 radials in the Octagon so the angle between 2 will be

    360/8 = 45

    Now have in mind that the Octagon is made up of 8 isoceles triangles. So

    If the vertex of the isoceles triangle is 45 then the angle opposite the two equal sides will be

    (180 - 45) / 2 = 67.5

    Hope this is clear and easy to understand
