Answer:

(C)51.4 degrees

Explanation:

The sum of the exterior angle of a polygon is 360 degrees. (one complete revolution).

Given a regular polygon, the sum of each exterior angle is calculated using the formula:


(360^\circ)/(n) where n is the number of sides.

The regular polygon shown made by the ant has 7 sides.

Therefore:

Each exterior angle
=(360^\circ)/(7)=51.43^\circ

Therefore:

The value of A correct to 1 decimal place is 51.4 degrees.

The correct option is C.
