The angles of an octagon are all equal and is 120 degrees each

Complementary angle sum is 180
So outside angle is 60 deg

X= 120
Y = 60

Xy = 7200 = E

Since y =60
x = 180-60 =120
xy = 120 *60= 7200

IMO E

We can divide the figure in Hexagon and a triangle.
For Hexagon, each interior angle x= $$\frac{(6-2)}{6}$$ * 180 = 120
For Triangle, each interior angle y = 60

Thus, x*y = 120*60 = 7200

Please hit kudos if you like the solution.

x is the interior angle of a regular hexagon. So x=120

y is the interior angle of an equilateral triangle. So y=60

xy=120*60=7200

Since all the angles of the triangle are equal therefore value of y=60.Now sum of suplimentery angle are 180 therefore x=120
So correct answere must be 7200(E)

The top part of the figure is a regular hexagon. Each angle of a hexagon is 120.

So, x = 120
y = 60 (linear pair)

xy = 120 x 60 = 7200.

Note: The sum of interior angles of an n-sided polygon = (n - 2)180

Please give kudos if you liked the solution.

angles of regular hexagon = x=120 each
Sum of angle of triangle =180
each angle y =60
hence xy =7200
