Answer:

exterior angle: 22.5°, interior angle: 157.5°

Explanation:

the formula for the measure of each Interior Angle in a regular polygon:
(180(n-2))/(n), n = # of sides

=>
(180(16 - 2))/(16) = 157.5°

the formula for the measure of each Exterior Angle in a regular polygon:
(360)/(n)

=>
(360)/(16) = 22.5°
