Answers:    Hi in that, 360 divided by 8 equals 45 degrees. All you want is a protractor and a straight edge. Geometry sixth level, remember?
Center the sides, measure 42 1/2 inches respectively way from the center dupe, then draw a strip to the other side. that should give you the angles and the distances you necessitate.
