I think angle DAC is 135 because it octagon.
External angle is 45.

In the regular octagon above, what is x?

A. 157.5°
B. 150°
C. 145°
D. 135°
E. 120°

Join B and C..
Take\( \triangle ADC......\angle{DAC}=120\) ( internal angle of hexagon) and \(\angle{ADC}=\angle{ACD}=\frac{180-120}{2}=30\)( AD and AC are sides of hexagon)
Similarly take Take\( \triangle ADB......\angle{ADB}=120\) ( internal angle of hexagon) and \(\angle{DAB}=\angle{ABD}=\frac{180-120}{2}=30\)( sides of hexagon)

Now take \(\triangle {ADO}\) and \(\triangle {BOC}\)..Both are similar as AD||BC.
Therefore \(\angle{DAB}=\angle{ABC}=30\) and \(\angle{ADC}=\angle{BCD}=30\)

Finally take \(\triangle{BOC}\)......Sum of angles = \(x+30+30=180....x=120\)

E

Yes, you are correct. I have answered the question taking it as a hexagon.
Octagon means internal angle is 135 and similarly as the way solves for hexagon it will be 135
