Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the measure of each exterior angle of a regular hexagon.
[2 marks]
2.
A polygon has 5 sides. If one exterior angle measures 72°, what is the total of the other exterior angles?
[3 marks]
3.
In a regular octagon, what is the measure of each exterior angle? Show your working.
[3 marks]
4.
A pentagon has exterior angles that sum to 360°. If four of the exterior angles are 70°, 80°, 60°, and 50°, what is the measure of the fifth exterior angle?
[2 marks]
5.
True or False: The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon is always 360°, regardless of the number of sides.
[1 mark]
6.
Construct a triangle with exterior angles measuring 100°, 80°, and the remaining angle. Calculate the third exterior angle.
[3 marks]
7.
A regular decagon has exterior angles. What is the measure of each exterior angle? Show your working.
[3 marks]
