Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
In a science experiment, a polygonal frame has 5 sides. Calculate the size of each exterior angle if they are all equal.
[2 marks]
2.
A scientist constructs a hexagonal apparatus. Find the measure of each exterior angle of the hexagon.
[2 marks]
3.
Calculate the sum of all exterior angles of any convex polygon.
[2 marks]
4.
A polygon has exterior angles measuring 45°, 60°, and 75°. What is the measure of the remaining exterior angles if the polygon has 8 sides?
[3 marks]
5.
During a science experiment, a researcher needs a polygon with each exterior angle measuring 30°. How many sides does this polygon have?
[2 marks]
6.
A researcher builds a decagon-shaped sensor array. Confirm the measure of each exterior angle.
[2 marks]
7.
Explain why the sum of all exterior angles of a polygon always equals 360°, regardless of the number of sides.
[3 marks]
8.
A hexagon has exterior angles measuring 70°, 60°, and 50°. The remaining exterior angles are equal. Find the measure of each remaining exterior angle.
[3 marks]
9.
Identify and correct the mistake in this reasoning: 'Since a quadrilateral has four sides, each exterior angle is 90°, so total exterior angles are 4×90°=360°. Therefore, each exterior angle of a regular quadrilateral is 90°.'
[3 marks]
10.
Construct a regular octagon on the grid and estimate the measure of each exterior angle.
[4 marks]
11.
A scientific experiment involves a polygonal shape with exterior angles measuring 45° each. How many sides does this polygon have? Confirm your answer with calculations.
[4 marks]
