Each external angle is equal to 360/n degrees where n is the number of sides (or angles) of the polygon. So the external angle is inversely proportional to the number of sides.

How do you work out the number of sides in a regular polygon that has an exterior angle?
With a regular polygon: 360/exterior angle = number of sides
What is the sum of all the exterior angles in a 6 side regular polygon?
The sum of the exterior angles of any regular polygon is 360°
How do you work out the exterior and interior angles of a regular polygon with W sides?
Exterior angle regular polygon = 360° ÷ number of sides = 360° ÷ W Interior angle regular polygon = 180° - exterior angle regular polygon = 180° - (360° ÷ number of sides ) = 180° - (360° ÷ W)
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.
How many degrees are in the sum of an angle and an exterior angle of a regular polygon?
360 ________________________________________________ Sum of Interior Angles of a Polygon = 180 (n-2) Sum of Exterior Angles of a Polygon = 360 The sum of an angle and an exterior angle of a regular polygon is 360
How many sides does regular exterior polygon have?
There is no such thing as an exterior polygon. "Exterior" means outer. Polygons can have exterior angles, but that is about it!A regular polygon can have 3 or more sides - up to infinitely many.There is no such thing as an exterior polygon. "Exterior" means outer.

What is the largest exterior angle that any regular polygon can have?
The largest exterior angle measure is 120o. It is the exterior measure of an equilateral triangle (which is a regular polygon).
How do you work out the number of sides in a regular polygon that has an exterior angle?
With a regular polygon: 360/exterior angle = number of sides
What is the sum of all the exterior angles in a 6 side regular polygon?
The sum of the exterior angles of any regular polygon is 360°
If the number of sides of a regular polygon doubles what happens to the measure of each exterior angle?
They remain the same.
How do you work out the exterior and interior angles of a regular polygon with W sides?
Exterior angle regular polygon = 360° ÷ number of sides = 360° ÷ W Interior angle regular polygon = 180° - exterior angle regular polygon = 180° - (360° ÷ number of sides ) = 180° - (360° ÷ W)
What is the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a regular polygon with ten sides?
What is the sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a regular polygon with ten sides
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 sum of the exterior angles of a ten sided regular polygon?
360, as it is for every regular polygon.
How many degrees are in the sum of an angle and an exterior angle of a regular polygon?
360 ________________________________________________ Sum of Interior Angles of a Polygon = 180 (n-2) Sum of Exterior Angles of a Polygon = 360 The sum of an angle and an exterior angle of a regular polygon is 360
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.
As the number of sides of a regular polygon increases what happens to the measure of one central angles?
it will decrease
