If the measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon is 24, how many sides does the polygon have?

Question

anonymous · Answer

exterior angle? Can you draw which one it is?

anonymous · Answer

360/n = 24

anonymous · Answer

n is the number of sides

anonymous · Answer

To do this, we have to remember two things:
1. The exterior angles of a polygon ALWAYS add up to 360 degress
2. A regular polygon's angles are all equal (including exterior)
So, every exterior angle is 24
$$n=360/24$$
$$n=15$$

How is it then called exterior angle? That is the angle between two adjacent vertices and the center of the polygon.

anonymous · Answer

i think exterior angle is 180 - interior angle
