The sum of the exterior angles of all polygon is 360°. If ‘n’ is the number of sides.

Measure of an exterior angle = \(\frac{Sum\,of\,exterior\,angles}{No.of\,sides}\)

One outer angle = 360/n

(n = number of sides)

If the measure of an exterior angle is ‘x’.

x = \(\frac{1}{n}\times360 ^\circ\)

One outer angle and number of sides are inversely proportional. The constant of proportionality is 1/n.
