Solution

Solve for the value of each exterior angle of a regular pentagon:

The given geometry is a regular pentagon.

Thus, the number of sides, n=5.

It is known that the sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360°.

As the given pentagon is regular, so the value of each exterior angle can be given by 360°n=360°5=72°.

Therefore, the value of each exterior angle of a regular pentagon is 72°.
