  1. 30    
  2. 45    
  3. 48    
  4. 135    

hintHint:

Angle is a figure which is formed when two rays meet at a common point. Angles can be of many types one of them is central angles. Central angle is formed when two radii of a circle meet at the centre the circle. Central angle of a regular polygon can be determined by using the formula fraction numerator 360 over denominator N o. space o f space s i d e s end fraction . Here, we have to find the central angle of the given regular polygon.

The correct answer is: 45


    In the question there is an image of stop sign board using which we have to find the central angle of the stop sign board.
    Central angle =fraction numerator 360 over denominator N o. space o f space s i d e s end fraction
    =fraction numerator 360 over denominator 8 end fraction
    = 45 degree
    So, the central angle of the stop sign board is 45 degree.
    Therefore, the correct option is b, i.e., 45 degree.
