The sum of the polygon's interior angles, if the exterior angle is 45o, is 1080o
The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360o, thus:
exterior_angle x number_of_sides = 360o
⇒ number_of_sides = 360o ÷ exterior_angle
⇒ number_of_sides = 360o ÷ 45o
⇒ number_of_sides = 8.
Interior and exterior angles of a polygon are supplementary, that is add up to 180o, thus:
interior_angle + exterior_angle = 180o
⇒ interior_angle = 180o - exterior_angle
⇒ interior_angle = 180o - 45o
⇒ interior_angle = 135o
Sum of the interior_angles for a regular polygon is:
sum_of_angles = number_of_sides x interior_angle
⇒ sum_of_angles = 8 x 135o
⇒ sum_of_angles = 1080o

An equilateral triangle is the only polygon in which the exterior angle is larger than the interior angle. They are equal in a square and smaller in all regular polygons with more sides,
Interior Angles: n-2 (n is number of sides) ____ 180 Exterior angles are always 360 degrees.
int- [180(n-2)] ext- [360/2]
It is: 180-exterior angle = interior angle because there are 180 degrees on a straight line

For regular polygons, all the interior angles are the same measure, while the sum of the exterior angles is always 360 for any regular polygon. Use these facts and the fact that each interior/exterior angle pair has a sum of 180 to answer this question. 360 divided by 8 = 45. So each exterior angle of the figure measures 45. 180 - 45 = 135, so each interior angle measures 135 degrees.
1260 degrees
The only regular polygon with an interior angle of 90 degrees is the square, which has four sides. Other polygons can have an interior angle of 90 degrees, but they would not be regular polygons.
Because their interior and exterior angles are the same measurements.
An interior angle of a regular octagon is 45 degrees. The exterior angles measure 315 degrees.
