360/8 = 45 degrees (or π/4 radians)

The total revolution at the center (all the way around) is 360 degrees, and it's split between each triangular section (like a piece of a pie). So just divide by 8.

Divide 360 by 8 - 45 degrees per segment

360/8 cuz in the center you can draw a circle around the center angles

And it's 135 degrees.
