If a regular polygon has one exterior angle measuring 1°, then it has how many sides?

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

well we know a regular polygon has equiangular and equalateral right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure of what that means altho i think they equal 360 degrees together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's right, sum of exterior angles is 360 deg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

360 sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where would the 1 go in that .. n?

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

shoot wait a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sum of exterior angles - 360. There are \(n\) sides, so each exterior angle is \(\dfrac{360}{n}\). If the angle measure of one exterior angle is 1, then solve for \(n\): \[\frac{360}{n}=1~~\Rightarrow~~n=360\]
