Conclusions: • The sum of the exterior angles of a regular polygon is

• The exterior angle of a regular polygon can be calculated in the following ways:

(i) each exterior angle = the sum of the exterior angles divided by the number of sides 360 each exterior angle = n or 180 (n − 2) (ii) calculate each interior angle using , then subtract the answer from 180 n

For example, given a regular , determine the measure of each exterior angle.

Method (i) the sum of the exterior angles divided by the number of sides: 360 360 = = 60 Each exterior angle is 60° n 6

Method (ii) calculate each interior angle and subtract it from 180 0 180 (n − 2) each interior angle = each exterior angle = 180 − 120 n 180 (6 − 2) = = 60 ° 6 = 120 °
