Correct Answer

B

Explanation

Each exterior angle e = 360 /n, where n = 8 (for octagon)therefore e = 360b/8 = 45A regular octagon has 8 sides, and the sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360 degrees.To find the size of each exterior angle of a regular octagon, we divide the total sum of the exterior angles (360 degrees) by the number of sides (8):360 degrees / 8 = 45 degreesTherefore, each exterior angle of a regular octagon measures 45 degrees.
