Answer: The measure of each exterior angle is 72° .

Explanation:

Since we have given that

There is regular pentagon.

Regular shape has all equal sides.

Number of sides a pentagon has = 5

Sum of exterior angle of any polygon = 360°

So, Each exterior angle would be


\frac{360^\circ}{\text{Number of sides}}\\\\=\frac{360^\circ}5}\\\\=72^\circ

Hence, the measure of each exterior angle is 72° .
