Is 12 the measure of an exterior angle of the regular polygon?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes directrix

Directrix (directrix):

The sum of the exterior angle measure of a convex polygon is 360. Because this polygon is regular, the exterior angle measure are equiangular. 360 / 12 = 30 angles for each exterior angle. The adjacent interior angle is 150 but you don't need that for an answer. We know we have 30 exterior angles so there will be 30 sides for the regular polygon. Answer --> 30 sides
