Q. Learn with an example \newline\checkmark\newlineor Watch a video (D)\newlineThe diagram shows a convex polygon.\newlineWhat is the sum of the exterior angle measures, one at each vertex, of this polygon? \circ\newlineSubmit
  1. Exterior angles sum 360360 degrees: The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon, convex or not, is always 360360 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 180180 degrees. Since the interior angles of a polygon add up to (n2)×180(n-2)\times180 degrees, where nn 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 360360 degrees to maintain that each pair sums to 180180 degrees.
