1. The problem asks to find the size of angle $d$ in a regular octagon and to explain Sonia's mistake.
2. Sonia calculated $d$ as $\frac{360}{8} = 45^\circ$. This is correct for the exterior angle of a regular octagon because the sum of exterior angles of any polygon is $360^\circ$, and dividing by the number of sides (8) gives each exterior angle.
3. However, the question asks for the size of angle $d$, which is marked as an interior angle, not an exterior angle.
4. The interior angle $d$ of a regular polygon is related to the exterior angle by:
$$d = 180^\circ - \text{exterior angle}$$
5. Since the exterior angle is $45^\circ$, the interior angle $d$ is:
$$d = 180^\circ - 45^\circ = 135^\circ$$
6. Therefore, Sonia's mistake was assuming $d$ was the exterior angle when it is actually the interior angle.
7. Final answer:
$$d = 135^\circ$$
