In regular polygons, what is the relation between the number of sides and the degree measure of an outer angle? Can it be stated in terms of proportion?

Answer»

The sum of the exterior angles of all polygon is 360°. If ‘n’ is the number of sides.

Measure of an exterior angle = \(\frac{Sum\,of\,exterior\,angles}{No.of\,sides}\)

One outer angle = 360/n

(n = number of sides)

If the measure of an exterior angle is ‘x’.

x = \(\frac{1}{n}\times360 ^\circ\)

One outer angle and number of sides are inversely proportional. The constant of proportionality is 1/n.
