What is the measure of one of the exterior angles of a regular polygon with ten sides?

Answer 1

Autumn Armstrong

#36^o#

The measure of one exterior angle of a regular polygon is given by:

#"Exterior angle measure" = 360^o/n#

Where #n# is the number of sides.

In our problem, the polygon has #10# sides.

#n=10#

#Exterior angle measure" = 360^o/10#

#Exterior angle measure" = 36^o#
