The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is 1080, find one exterior angle of the polygon

A.

35

B.

45

C.

108

D.

135

Correct Answer: 45

Explanation

sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon = (n2)×180=1080( n - 2 ) \times 180 = 1080

n2=1080180=10818n - 2 = \frac {1080}{180} = \frac{108}{18}

n2=6n - 2 = 6

n=8n = 8

one external angle = 360n\frac {360}{n}

3608\frac{360}{8} =45= 45

sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon = (n2)×180=1080( n - 2 ) \times 180 = 1080

n2=1080180=10818n - 2 = \frac {1080}{180} = \frac{108}{18}

n2=6n - 2 = 6

n=8n = 8

one external angle = 360n\frac {360}{n}

3608\frac{360}{8} =45= 45
