Answer:

An angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle is smaller

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A complete circle represent 360°

so

An angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle is

[tex](360\°)*(\frac{1}{8})=45\°[/tex]

An angle showing a turn through 1/3 of a circle is

[tex](360\°)*(\frac{1}{3})=120\°[/tex]

therefore

An angle showing a turn through 1/8 of a circle is smaller
