Question
Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon of 15 sides
Advertisements
Solution
Sum of all exterior angles of the given polygon = 360º
Each exterior angle of a regular polygon has the same measure.
Thus, measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon of 15 sides
= `360^circ/15`
= `24^circ`
