A convex pentagon has five exterior angles, and the sum of the measures of these angles is equal to 360 degrees.

We know that the measures of the exterior angles of a convex pentagon are 75°, 62°, 68°, and 101°, we need to find the measure of the last exterior angle.

To find the measure of the last exterior angle, we can use the formula:

Sum of all exterior angles = (n-2) x 180

where n is the number of sides in the polygon.

For a pentagon, n = 5, so the sum of all exterior angles is (5-2) x 180 = 540 degrees

So we can use this information to find the measure of the last exterior angle:

75 + 62 + 68 + 101 + x = 540

x = 244

Therefore, the measure of the last exterior angle is 244 degrees.
