Question

find number of degrees in each exterior angle of a regular polygon?

Open in App
Solution

Answer :

We know all internal angles of equilateral triangle = 60° , So

Exterior angle of equilateral triangle = 180° - 60° = 120°

And

All internal angles of square = 90° , So

Exterior angle of square = 180° - 90° = 90°

And

All internal angles of regular pentagon = 108° , So

Exterior angle of square = 180° - 108° = 72°

Formula for exterior angle = 360°n , Here n is number of sides in polygon .
