The correct Answer is:
To find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon with \( n \) sides, follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Concept of Exterior Angles**: Each exterior angle of a polygon is formed by extending one side of the polygon. The sum of all exterior angles of any polygon is always \( 360^\circ \). 2. **Formula for Exterior Angles**: For a regular polygon (where all sides and angles are equal), the measure of each exterior angle can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Sum of exterior angles} = \text{Number of sides} \times \text{Measure of each exterior angle} \] Since the sum of the exterior angles is \( 360^\circ \), we can express this as: \[ 360^\circ = n \times \text{Measure of each exterior angle} \] 3. **Isolate the Measure of Each Exterior Angle**: To find the measure of each exterior angle, we rearrange the formula: \[ \text{Measure of each exterior angle} = \frac{360^\circ}{n} \] 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon with \( n \) sides is: \[ \text{Measure of each exterior angle} = \frac{360^\circ}{n} \] ### Final Answer: Each exterior angle of a regular polygon with \( n \) sides is equal to \( \frac{360^\circ}{n} \). ---
