if a regular polygon has exterior angles that measures approximately 17.14 each, how many sides does the the polygon have?
------------------------
Sum of the exterior angle = 360 degrees
-----
# of sides = # of exterior angles = 360/17.14 = 21
=====================
Note: Your 17.14 does evenly divide 360.
There is a mistake somewhere in that idea.
