Exterior Angles of Polygons
Exterior angles are angles outside of a polygon when two sides are connected. The sum of all exterior angles of a polygon will always be 360°. Each exterior angle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles on either side of it.

exterior angles of polygons
Exterior angle - The angle between one side of a polygon and a line extended from the next side.
Interior angle - An angle formed inside the sides of a polygon.
Regular polygon - A polygon where all the sides are equal and all the interior angles are equal.

Did you know?
The sum of the exterior angles of any convex polygon is always equal to 360 degrees. The exterior angles of a regular polygon (all sides equal length) are all the same. The exterior angle of a triangle is always greater than the interior angles of the triangle.

Question: What is the exterior angle of a regular heptagon?
The exterior angle of a regular polygon is equal to the sum of the interior angles divided by the number of sides. The formula for the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is (n-2)*180. The formula for the exterior angle of a regular polygon is (360/n).
A: Pair up and measure the exterior angles of a regular polygon using a protractor. B: Draw a diagram of a regular polygon to illustrate the exterior angle of each side.
