find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon of 14 sides
Answers
Answer:
we know that
sum of all exterior angle of a regular polygon is 360
measure of each exterior angle=360/14 =25.71°
Concept:
We will first recall the concept of regular polygon of Geometry to solve this question.
A Regular Polygon is a closed curve Consists of line segments such that no two of them intersect.
The measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon
= (1)
Given:
A regular polygon with 14 sides
i.e. n=14 sides where n is the number of sides
To find:
Measure of each exterior angle of the polygon
Solution:
Sum of exterior angles of a polygon =
Number of sides of a polygon =14
Using the formula given by equation (1):
Measure of each exterior angle of a polygon =
=
Hence, Measure of each exterior angle is given by:
