Which of the following angles is an exterior angle of a regular polygon?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. The exterior angles of a regular polygon are equal and add up to 360∘360^\circ, so an exterior angle must divide 360∘360^\circ a whole number of times.
  2. 360÷95360 \div 95, 360÷78360 \div 78 and 360÷85360 \div 85 are not whole numbers.
  3. 360÷72=5360 \div 72 = 5, a regular pentagon.
  4. So the answer is 72∘72^\circ, option C.
