Question 527040: How many sides does a regular polygon have if each exterior angle equals 30 degrees
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The sum of all the exterior angles is 360 degrees


So this means that if there are n sides, then 30n = 360


Solve for n to get


30n = 360


n = 360/30


n = 12


So there are 12 sides
