Take note that π corresponds to 180 degrees.
Answer is 22.5^o

Explanation:

π is equal to 180^o
π/8 is equal to x

π/180=(π/8)/x

x*π=180*π/8

x=180/8

x=22.5^o

Just remember the proportion: 2pi=360^º

Explanation:

2pi <=> 360^º
pi/8 <=> x

Cross multiplying it:

2pix=360^º(pi/8)

((2*8)cancel(pi)x)/cancel(pi)=360^º

16x=360^º

x=360^º/16=22.5^º
