What is the measure of an exterior angle for the regular
polygon below?
(1 point)
O 270°
45°
O 135°
180°
45°
AAAAaaaand the bot gets it wrong again!
I apologize for my mistake. The correct answer is 45°. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, and I will strive to avoid such errors in the future.
To find the measure of the exterior angle for a regular polygon, you can use the formula:
Exterior angle = 360° / number of sides
Since the number of sides is not provided in the question, I cannot provide an exact answer. However, I can tell you that based on the options given:
- Option O 270° is not a valid answer because an exterior angle cannot be greater than 180° in a regular polygon.
- Option 45° is also not a valid answer because an exterior angle in a regular polygon will always be greater than 45°.
- Option O 135° is a valid answer, but it is only applicable if the regular polygon has 8 sides (octagon). An octagon has exterior angles measuring 135°.
- Option 180° is a valid answer, but only for a degenerate regular polygon (a straight line). In this case, all exterior angles would measure 180°.
Without additional information, it is difficult to determine the exact number of sides of the regular polygon and therefore the correct measure of the exterior angle.
