Question

The measure of each exterior angle of a regular pentagon is ___ the measure of each exterior angle of a regular nonagon.

A. greater than
B. less than
C. equal to

Answer 1

equal to

Explanation:

There is a nonagon.

We know that for any number of sides sum of exterior angles will be 4 times right angles = 360 degrees

Irrespective of n the number of sides, the sum of exterior angles would equal 360 degrees.

Hence here one is a regular pentagon with 5 sides and another is a nonagon.

Both have exterior angles equal to 360 degrees irrespective of number of sides.

Hence the correct answer for the fill in the blanks would be

equal to

The measure of each exterior angle of a regular pentagon is _equal to __ the measure of each exterior angle of a regular nonagon.
