find the measure of each exterior angle of an regular polygon of 8 sides
Answers
Answer:
Here is ur answer answer⤵️
Step-by-step explanation:
A regular octagon has eight equal sides and eight equal angles. (a) Calculate the size of each exterior angle in the regular octagon. We do this by dividing 360° by the number of sides, which is 8. The answer is 360° ÷ 8 = 45°..
Hope its help..⤴️
Given that, Sides of regular polygon is 8.
We have to find measures of each exterior triangle.
_____________________
To solve these type of questions, we need to know something about it :
Polygon is basically a 2-D closed figure which is made up of line segment. Here, we mentioned closed figure, so to make any closed figure by line segment, we required minimum 3 lines.
In question, Regular polygon is mentioned. Regular polygon is a type of polygon which all sides are of equal measure.
—» Sum of exterior angle of polygon is always equal to 360°
____________________
In this question, we have given that regular polygon(all sides are of equal measure) is of 8 sides. We know that (mentioned above), sum of exterior angels of polygon is equal to 360°.
In order to find measures of side,
Formula :
- Measure of each exterior angle =
Here, n is number of sides of polygon.
Put value in formula:
Measure of each exterior angle =
→ Measure of each exterior angle = 45°
Therefore,
