Exterior angles sum 360 degrees: The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon, convex or not, is always 360 degrees. This is because each exterior angle forms a linear pair with an interior angle, and the sum of the angles in a linear pair is 180 degrees. Since the interior angles of a polygon add up to (n−2)×180 degrees, where n is the number of sides, and each interior angle pairs with an exterior angle to make a straight line, the exterior angles must add up to 360 degrees to maintain that each pair sums to 180 degrees.
