Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of interior angle of any polygon = 180* (n- 2 )

Here, n= number of sides

Sum of interior angles of regular octagon = 180 * ( 8-2) = 180 * 6 = 1080°

In regular octagon, all the angles are congruent,

So, measure of an interior angle of regular octagon = 1080/8 = 135°

Sum of interior angles of regular hexagon = 180 * ( 6-2) = 180*4 = 720°

In regular hexagon, all the angles are congruent,

So, measure of an interior angle of regular hexagon = 720/6 = 120°

The measure of an interior angle of a regular octagon is greater than the measure of an interior angle of a regular hexagon by 15°
