Take a regular hexagon as shown in the figures:
Repeat this activity for the cases of (i)A regular octagon
How many sides does a regular polygon have if the measure of an exterior angle is 24°?
For a regular polygon, measure of each angle is equal
∴ Sum of all the exterior angles =
Measure of an exterior angle =
∴ Number of angles =
Thus, there are 15 sides of the polygon.
5. (a) Is it possible to have a regular polygon with measure of each exterior angle is 22°?
