Question

A polygon can have each of its exterior angles as 70°.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in exam.

This key question is from Sum of Measures of the Exterior Angles of a Polygon topic in chapter Quadrilaterals of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) False

To explain: Each exterior angle of any n-sided polygon=(360°)/n

If the exterior angle is 70°,

Then (360°)/n = 70

Therefore n=5.1. Here ‘n’ is the number of sides and since the number of sides cannot be any decimal number the answer to the statement is false.
