Explore Exterior Angles
of a Pentagon
(using one exterior angle at each vertex)

Observe:

  • how the size of the exterior angles changes as a new pentagon is formed.
  • how the SUM of the exterior angles remains the same.

If you have access to Geometer's SketchPad 4 software, you can download a more complete polygon investigation program from MathBits.com.

Drag any points to form new polygons.
