The measure of a highlight%28interior_angle_of_a%29 regular polygon is 135°. Find the measure of each exterior angle and the number of side.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The measure of each exterior angle is 180° - 135° = 45°.

The number of sides is 360%2F45 = 8.   (Because the sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360°).

Notice that I edited the condition to the correct form.
