A regular octagon has got 8 sides of equal length and the interior angles add up to 1080°, so each interior angle is 135°.

As has been said earlier, an octagon has 8 sides.
In a regular polygon (an octagon being an example of a polygon) all sides are equal in length AND all internal angles are equal.
It's certainly possible to have equal sides without equal angles, or to have equal angles without equal sides.
I'm wondering how an octagon (with 8 sides) can be like a pentagon (with 5 sides).

an octopus has eight tentacles, an octagenarian is eighty years old, an octet is eight musicians - so.....
.....an octagon is an eight-sided figure. It's a regular octagon if all of those sides are the same length.

Are you serious?
Did you not think first to look up the word 'Octagon' in a dictionary or using Wikipedia?
