Question

What is the measure of an exterior angle of a regular 7-sided polygon?

Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Answer 1

40.0

Answer 2

I know the measure is 360

Answer 3

Isn't there a formula for this like: 180(n-2) find the sum divide by the original sides then subtract 180 and the other value you receive from dividing by the original sides.

Answer 4

180(7-2)
5*180 = 900
900 / 7 = 128.57
180 - 128.6
= 51.4
I am be incorrect, it's been awhile since I have gone over this.

Answer 5

I may be incorrect*

Answer 6

I thought that formula was for interior angles

Answer 7

Well, let's see: 51.4 * 7 = 359.8.

Answer 8

Pretty close to 360. The formula I used may be wrong.

Answer 9

Ahh, yes, I believe that is for interior angles.

Answer 10

I think you are correct since I trust you, I will inform you if your answer is right.

Answer 11

Give me a second.

Answer 12

Woah... crazy enough; it says 360/n
(n equals the number of angles)
360/7 = 51.4

Answer 13

This may just be a coincidence.

Answer 14

Lets see

Answer 15

You were correct :)

Answer 16

Okay, everything I have discovered says to divide 360 by the number of sides, or angles which still works in this case of 360/7 = 51.4.
I believe what I first stated is for interior angles, but both have the same value I believe for this polygon!

Answer 17

I got the other question wrong

Answer 18

Which?
