The number of sides of a regular polygon,

Question:

The number of sides of a regular polygon, where each exterior angle has a measure of 36o, is __________.

Solution:

The number of sides of a regular polygon, where each exterior angle has a measure of 36o, is 10.

We know that, the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 360o/n.

Where ‘n’ is the number of sides in the polygon,

Then, exterior angle has a measure of 36o

So, 36o = 360o/n

n = 360o/36o

n = 10
