we parents have to stick together...

for ANY regular polygon:
___ the sum of the EXTERIOR angles is 360º
___ interior and exterior angles are supplementary (add to 180º)


in this case,
___ there are 20 exterior angles, so each one is 18º (360 / 20)
___ the interior angles are supplements of 18º, so each one is 162º (180 - 18)
