Answer:

45

Explanation:

Calculation to Find the size of each exterior angle

First step is to calculate the sum of interior angles of a polygon using this formula

Sum of interior angles of a polygon =S=(n-2)*180

Let plug in the formula

Sum of interior angles of a polygon=1080=(n-2)*180

Cross multiply

1080/180=n-2

6=n-2

Add 2 to both sides

6+2=n-2+2

n=8

Now let Find the size of each exterior angle using this formula

Size of each exterior angle=360/n

Where,

n represent numbers of sides of the polygon

Let plug in the formula

Size of each exterior angle=360/8

Size of each exterior angle=45

Therefore the size of each exterior angle will be 45
