    For a polygon with n sides, the interior angles add up to:

    (n - 2) x 180

    an octagon has 8 sides:

    (8 - 2) * 180 = 6 * 180 = 1080

    from the question, 1 side measures 2x while 7 sides measure x. this means

    7x + 2x = 1080

    9x = 1080

    x = 1080/9

    x = 120°

    if x=120°

    2x=2 (120°) = 240°

    so, the seven smaller angles are 120°. while the one larger angle is 240°
