For a polygon with n sides, the interior angles add up to:

(n - 2) x 180

an octagon has 8 sides:

(8 - 2) * 180 = 6 * 180 = 1080

from the question,1 side measures 2x while 7 sides measure x. this means

7x + 2x = 1080

9x = 1080

x = 1080/9

x = 120°

if x=120°

2x=2(120°)=240°

so, the seven smaller angles are 120°. while the one larger angle is 240°

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached a picture of the scatterplot with a line connecting the points. There is a definite upside down u type shape, and it doesn't look close to a line at all, so linear is not a good choice.

an upside down u shape (or right side up u shape for that matter) is exactly what a quadratic is, or any polynomial if you do it right, but quadratic is the simplest, so let's go with that.
