Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Each of the exterior angles of a regular polygon is 20°. How many sides does the polygon have?

2

Step

Exterior angle of the given polygon

20°

3

Hint

We know that in a polygon, the sum of all the external angles = 360°

4

Clue

Number of sides = 360° / Exterior angle

5

Step

Substitute the value

\$(360°)/(20°)\$

6

Step

Number of sides(n)

18

7

Step

Thus, the given polygon has 18 sides.

SumUp

Can you summarize what you’ve understood in the above steps?

9

Choice.A

10 sides is not correct because the formula gives a result of 18, not 10

10 sides

10

Choice.B

12 sides is not correct. If the measure of each exterior angle is 20°, then using the formula

12 sides

11

Choice.C

18 sides is correct. If the measure of each exterior angle is 20°, then using the formula

18 sides

12

Choice.D

A 20° exterior angle in a regular polygon means it has 18 sides, not 20 so it is incorrect

20 sides
