Question

Calculate the value of each exterior angle of a regular octagon.

• A. ${55}^{\circ }$
• B. ${45}^{\circ }$
• C. ${65}^{\circ }$
• D. ${50}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

The correct option is B ${45}^{\circ }$

The number of sides of a regular octagon is $8$.

The sum of the measure of the exterior angles of any polygon is always ${360}^{\circ }$.

Therefore, the measure of each exterior angle will be

$=\frac{{360}^{\circ }}{8}$

$={45}^{\circ }$
