Answer: 135°
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to find the measure of each interior angle of a regular octagon.
So let's use our formula for finding the measure of
each interior angle of a regular octagon which is .
In this formula, <em>n</em> represents the
number of sides of the polygon.
Remember that an octagon is a polygon that has 8 sides
so we plug a 8 in for <em>n</em> and we have .
Simplifying across the top, (8 - 2) is 6so we have .
180(6) is 1,080 so we have and
1,080 divided by 8 gives us 135.
So the measure of each interior angle of a regular octagon is 135°.

Consider that 100%-72%=28% represents the percentage of wrong answers. I would think as fractions as:
if 100% is the total number of answers and 28% are the wrong ones
as
if x is the total you have 14 wrong you can write:
x=(100/28)*14=50 questions
if 100% is the total number of answers and 28% are the wrong ones
as
if x is the total you have 14 wrong you can write:
x=(100/28)*14=50 questions
