The measure of each exterior
Answer to Problem 11CYU
The measure of each exterior angle of a regular octagon is 45.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The given polygon is a octagon.
Calculation:
The sum of the measures of exterior angles of a convex polygon, one angle at each vertex is 360.
Also, in a regular quadrilateral, there are 8 congruent interior angles.
The exterior angles of a quadrilateral are also congruent as angles supplementary to congruent angles are also congruent.
Suppose, the measure of each exterior angle be n.
Therefore,
The measure of each exterior angle of a regular octagon is 45.
