Answer:

Explanation:

What an interesting question!

The exterior angles of any regular figure is found by dividing 360 by the number of sides.

So for the pentagon, the exterior angle would be

360 / 5 = 72 degrees.

The same argument can be made for the hexagon. 360 / 6 = 60

What makes this problem so tricky is that 60 + 72 = 132

132 is the sum of both exterior angles put together.
