5) If the exterior angles of a regular polygon are in the ratio of 2:3, find the size of the exterior angle.
The phrasing of this question is unusual, as all exterior angles of a regular polygon are equal. We will assume it means the ratio of the exterior angle to the interior angle is 2:3.
a) Find the size of the exterior angle.
Let the exterior angle be and the interior angle be .
We assume the ratio of the exterior angle to the interior angle is .
Use the property that the interior angle and exterior angle of a polygon sum to .
Substitute into the sum equation and solve for .
Calculate the exterior angle .
Alternatively, .
The exterior angle is .
