find the sum of the measures of exterior angles, one at each vertex, of an octagon

Question

marigirl · Answer

there is a cool animation here to help u understand: http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/exterior-angles-polygons.html so basically exterior angles of a polygon, in this case a octagon will add to 360 degrees. therefore, since the octagon has 8 corners (vertex) we can go 360/8 to find the angle measurement in each corner.

So, 360/8 = 45
My answer choices are:
A. 180
B. 360
C. 1080
D. 1440

So would I choose 360 since that's what they add up to?
