A convex hexagon has exterior angles that measure 80, 68, 84°, 56°, and 40°. Which of the following is the measure of the sixth exterior angle?

Respuesta :

32°

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon = 360°

Subtract the sum of the 5 given angles and subtract from 360 for sixth exterior angle

360° - (80 + 68 +84 + 56 + 40 ) ° = 32°


The measure of the sixth exterior angle of the hexagon will be 32°.

It is because sum of exterior angles of a closed polygon is 360°.

Given that:

  • A convex hexagon is there.
  • Its five of six exterior angles' measures are 80°, 68°, 84°, 56°, and 40°.

To find:

The remaining sixth exterior angle of the given hexagon.

Calculations for sixth exterior angle:

The sum of all exterior angles of any closed polygon is 360°.

Let the sixth angle of the given hexagon be s°. Then we will have:

[tex]80 + 68 + 84 + 56 + 40 + s = 360\\s + 328 = 360\\s = 360 - 328 = 32^\circ[/tex]

Thus, the measure of the sixth exterior angle of the hexagon will be 32°.
