Solution

What is the measure of an exterior angle for the regular polygon below:

Number of sides = 8

The formula for calculating the size of an exterior angle is: exterior angle of a polygon = 360 ÷ number of sides = 60


\begin{gathered} (360)/(n) \\ =(360)/(8) \\ =45 \end{gathered}

Therefore the measure of exterior angle = 45 degrees

Answer: Option B
