Question

Find the measures of each exterior angle of a regular Heptagon

Open in App
Solution

In a regular heptagon, all sides are same size and measure of all interior angles are same.
The sum of interior angles of heptagon is
(n2)×180o where n is number of sides of polygon.
(72)×180o=900o here n=7 because hepta means 7
Each interior angle =900/7=128.57o
As we know that the sum of interior and exterior angles is 180o
Exterior angle + interior angle =180o
Exterior angle +128.57o=180o
Exterior angle =180o128.57o=51.43o
