Question
How many sides does a regular polygon have if the measure of an exterior angle is 24°?
Advertisements
Solution
Sum of all exterior angles of the given polygon = 360º
Measure of each exterior angle = 24º
Thus, number of sides of the regular polygon = `360^@/24^@ = 15`
The polygon has 15 sides.
