Question

directions - find the sum of the interior angles in any octagon: sum of interior angles = degrees

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula

The formula for the sum of interior - angles of a polygon is $(n - 2)\times180^{\circ}$, where $n$ is the number of sides of the polygon.

Step2: Identify the number of sides of an octagon

An octagon has $n = 8$ sides.

Step3: Calculate the sum

Substitute $n = 8$ into the formula: $(8 - 2)\times180^{\circ}=6\times180^{\circ}=1080^{\circ}$.

Answer:

$1080$
