The exterior angles of an octagon are 42°, 55°, 39°, 20°, 62°, 45°, and 47°. What is the measure of the eighth exterior angle? Show equations and all work that leads to your answer.

Answer:
the 8th exterior angle is 49 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the exterior angles of an octagon is 360 degrees
(this is true for all polygons)
42°+55°+ 39°+ 20°+ 62°+45°,+ 47+x = 360
combine like terms
311+x=360
subtract 311 from each side
311-311 +x = 360-311
x=49
