<PRE><B>Question 456232</B>
the perimeter of a polygon is 72 feet. An exterior angle of the polygon is 30 degrees. what is the length of each side? 
---
Fact: The sum of the exterior angles is 360 degrees.
---
I am going to assume the polygon is a regular polygon (all sides
are equal).
---
There are 360/30 = 12 exterior angles of size 30 degrees.
---
Therefore there are 12 equal sides.
---
The length of one side is 72/12 = 6 feet
