The exterior angle of a 24 sided regular polygon

Question

Need help because it is my homework but I don't get it

Answer 1

Hello Isabelle,

The exterior angles of any polygon add up to 360 degrees. Since they said this polygon is regular, each of the exterior angles will be equal

→ 360 / 24

= 180 / 12

= 90 / 6

= 45 / 3

= 15 degrees.

I was doing the above without a calculator, so I just kept taking half of the numerator and denominator till I got something that was easy to divide.

Thank you for posting the question.
