Is it possible to have a regular polygon each of whose exterior angles is 50o?

Open in App
Solution

We know that sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon is 360o
Formula for exterior angle =360on where n is the number of sides.

n=360o50o=7.2

And we know that 7.2 is not an integer so it is not possible to have a regular polygon whose exterior angle is 50o
