You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The exterior angle sum of any regular (or not regular) convex polygon is 360%5Eo .
An exterior angle is the angle you turn as you "turn the corner" around a vertex.
You deviate from your prior heading by that angle.
By the time you have turned around all the vertices you are going in the same direction as when you started and have turned 360%5Eo around.
