the measure of each interior angle would be 165 degrees

The formula for finding the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is similar to the formula for finding the measure of each interior angle. We take the sum of the measures of the exterior angles which is always 360 degrees and we divide this by the number of sides in the polygon which is n. So the formula for finding the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is simply 360 over n. In this problem since the polygon has 24 sides, we simply plug a 24 in for n and we have 360 over 15. 360 divided by 24 is 15. Therefore, the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon that has 24 sides is 15 degrees.
