GCSE Maths Practice: polygons

Question 8 of 10

This question asks about the sum of exterior angles for any polygon.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Which statement about the sum of exterior angles is true?}\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Remember: sum of all exterior angles = 360° for any polygon.

No matter how many sides a polygon has, or whether it is regular or irregular, the sum of exterior angles is always 360°. This property is extremely useful when solving polygon problems, calculating unknown angles, or reasoning geometrically. Understanding this constant allows students to check calculations and apply geometric rules efficiently. Practising exterior angle problems builds speed and accuracy in GCSE polygon questions and real-life applications such as design, tiling, and architecture.
