The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360o, so for a regular n-sided polygon, each is 360o/n.
The interior and exterior angles of a polygon are supplementary, that is sum to 180o.
For a regular 15 sided polygon:
exterior_angle = 360o / 15
= 24o
interior_angle = 180o - exterior_angle
= 180o - 24o
= 156o
Alternatively:
The sum of the interior angles of a n-sided polygon is (n-2) x 180o, so for a regular n-sided polygon each interior angle is (n-2) x 180o / n.
For a 15 sided polygon:
interior_angle = (15 - 2) x 180o / 15
= 13 x 12o
= 156o
exterior_angle = 180o - interior_angle
= 180o - 156o
= 24o.
The easiest way to solve this is to use the exterior angles of the polygon. The sum of an exterior angle and interior angle is 180o. Also the sum of all the exterior angles of a polygon is 360o. As the polygon is regular, all the interior angles are the same and all the exterior angles are the same. So, for an interior angle of 172o the exterior angle is 180-172 = 8o. The sum of all the exterior angles is 360o so how many 8o make up 360o? 360/8=45. Thus the polygon with interior angles of 172o has 45 sides.

That's true if the interior angles are 108 degrees, but a regular polygon cannot have exterior angles of 108 degrees.
144o. Sum of exterior angles of a polygon is 360o. Each exterior angle for a regular decagon is 360o / 10 = 36o. Exterior and interior angles are supplementary, that is sum to 180o. Therefore the interior angle of a regular decagon is 180o - 36o = 144o.
Exterior angles are 7.5 There are 48 sides.

An equilateral triangle.
A quadrilateral.
Square or rectangle
Hint: in a regular polygon interior plus exterior = 180o, always.

Interior angles 178 so exterior angles 2. Number of sides of any regular polygon = 360/exterior angle You polygon has 180 sides. Bet you're glad you didn't have to sketch it!
Exterior angles are supplementary with interior angles, so 180-30=150

If exterior angles are 120 then interior angles must be 60 so you have an equilateral triangle
If the polygon has n sides, each exterior angle is 360/n degrees.The interior angle is 180 less exterior angle.
