The adjacent interior and exterior angles of a polygon are supplementary, as indicated in the drawing. Assume that you know that the measure of each interior angle of a (n - 2)180 regular polygon is a) Express the measure of each exterior angle as the supplement of the interior angle. b) Simplify the expression in part (a) to show that each exterior 360 angle has a measure of . 1/2
