The sum of the exterior angles is 360. So we have 360/n= 72 or 72n=360 from which we see n=360/72=5 So it is a pentagon! Dr. Chuck

If the exterior angle of a regular polygon equals 72 degrees what is the shape of the polygon?
The sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360 degrees. In a regular polygon, all of the exterior angle are equal, so there must be 360/72=5 sides of the polygon, which makes it a pentagon.
If the exterior angle of a regular polygon equals 72 degrees what shape is the polygon?
Pentagon A+
If the exterior angle of a regular polygon equals 36 degrees what shape is the polygon?
It is a regular 10 sided decagon
What is the measure of an exterior angle of a twelve sided polygon?
If the 12-sided polygon is 'regular', then each of its exterior angles is 30 degrees. Whether the polygon is regular or not, all 12 of its exterior angles still add up to 360 degrees, but they may not all be equal.
What is the exterior angle of a 30 sided polygon?
Providing that it's a regular polygon then each exterior angle will measure 12 degrees.
How many sides does a regular polygon have if its exterior angles are 30 degrees?
A regular polygon with exterior angles of 30 degrees has: 360/30 = 12 sides
If the exterior angle of a regular polygon is 108 degrees how many sides does the polygon have?
That's true if the interior angles are 108 degrees, but a regular polygon cannot have exterior angles of 108 degrees.
Can a regular polygon have an exterior angle with 100 degrees?
No.
If the exterior angle of a regular polygon equals 72 degrees what is the shape of the polygon?
The sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360 degrees. In a regular polygon, all of the exterior angle are equal, so there must be 360/72=5 sides of the polygon, which makes it a pentagon.
How many sides does a regular polygon have with an exterior angle measure of 1?
A regular polygon will have 360 sides with exterior angles of 181 degrees.
What is the measure ofr a regular polygon with an exterior angle of 18.95?
There can be no such polygon. The sum of the exterior angles of ANY polygon is 360 degrees. If it is a regular polygon, then the number of angles MUST divide 360 degrees. Since 18.95 does not divide 360, there cannot be such a polygon. If the exterior angle was 18.94737... degrees, it would be a 19-sided polygon.
What is the exterior angle of a 9 sided polygon?
If its a regular 9 sided polygon then the exterior angles are 40 degrees.
What is the exterior of a regular polygon with 24 sides?
Each exterior angle is 15 degrees
If the exterior angle of a regular polygon equals 90 degrees what shape is the polygon?
square
If the exterior angle of a regular polygon equals 72 degrees what shape is the polygon?
Pentagon A+
If the exterior angle of a regular polygon is 45 degrees How many sides does this polygon have?
8
What polygon has the exterior angle measurement of 9?
If each exterior angle is 9 degrees then it is a regular 40 sided polygon.
