Hey there!

In order to find an exterior angle of a regular polygon, use the formula.

360/n, where n is the number of sides.

So a regular polygon with 4 sides, the exterior angle would measure 360/4 or 90 degrees.

So a regular polygon with 6 sides, the exterior angle would measure 360/6 or 60 degrees.

In order to find the measure of interior angle of a regular polygon, use the formula.

180(n-2)/n, where n is the number of sides.

So the measure of the interior angle in a 4-sided polygon is 180(4-2)/4 or 90 degrees.

So the measure of the interior angle in a 6-sided polygon is 180(6-2)/6 or 120 degrees.

Hope it helps!

The sum of the interior angles for a 4 sided polygon is always 360 degrees and a regular polygon has all angles equal to eachother, therefore each interior angle will equal 90 degrees. The sum of the exterior angles is always 360 degrees. Divide this by the 4 angles and 90 degrees is the exterior angle.

The sum of each interior angle of a 6 sided figure is equal to 720 degrees and a regular polygon has all angles equal to eachother so this is divided by the number of angles ie 720/6. So each interior angle = 120 degrees. The sum of the exterior angles is always 360 degrees so each exterior angle is 360/6 = 60 degrees
