Question

What is the measurement of each of the exterior angles of a regular pentagon?

A. 108 degrees
B. 72 degrees
C. 60 degrees
D. 90 degrees

Answer 1

B. 72

Explanation:

Answer 2

Remember that the degree measure of each exterior angle of a polygon can be found through the formula

`(360)/(n)`

where
`n` is the number of sides on the polygon.

Since a pentagon has five sides, the degree measures of each of its five sides would be:

`(360)/(5) = 72^(\circ)`

Thus, our answer is Choice B, or 72 degrees.
