If a regular polygon has 5 sides then the measure of its interior angle is greater than the measure of its exterior angle by how many degrees?
Sum of interior angles of a regular polygon = $$(n-2)\times180^\circ$$
Sum of all interior angles of a pentagon = $$(5-2)\times180^\circ=540^\circ$$
=> Measure of an interior angle of a polygon =Â $$\frac{540}{5}=108^\circ$$
Sum of all exterior angles of a pentagon = $$360^\circ$$
=>Â Measure of an exterior angle of a polygon =Â $$\frac{360}{5}=72^\circ$$
$$\therefore$$ Required difference = $$108^\circ-72^\circ=36^\circ$$
=> Ans - (B)
