Answer:

45°

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the measure of each interior angle of the octagon.

Measure of each interior angle of the octagon = [tex] \frac{(n - 2)180}{n} [/tex]

Where, n = 8.

Plug in the value of n into the formula

[tex] = \frac{(8 - 2)180}{8} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{(6)180}{8} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{1,080}{8} = 135 [/tex]

x = 180 - 135 (straight line theorem.)

x = 45°
