Answer:

8 sides

Explanation:

because you use the formula for exterior angles;
(360)/(n), you plug in the number of sides in the denominator and then divide 360 by n

Answer:

8

Explanation:

to find the number of sides when you are given an exterior angle you divide 360 (because that's what all exterior angles equal) by the one exterior angle you were given. in this case 360/45=8
