Sum of the Measures of the Exterior Angles of a Polygon
Sum of the Measures of the Exterior Angles of a Polygon: Overview
This topic states that the sum of the measures of the external angles of any polygon is 360 degrees. We can find a number of sides of a regular polygon with the given angle. We can find the number of the sides by dividing the exterior with 360 degrees.
