Question 1 Report

A regular polygon of n sides has each exterior angle to 45^o. Find the value of n

8 Correct answer

Answer Details

In a regular polygon with n sides, each exterior angle measures 360/n degrees. We are given that in this polygon, each exterior angle is 45 degrees. Therefore, we can set up an equation: 360/n = 45 To solve for n, we can cross-multiply and simplify: 360 = 45n n = 360/45 n = 8 Therefore, the regular polygon in question has 8 sides. Answer: 8.
