16.1.4 The Exterior-Angle Sum of a Polygon

Core idea

Walk once around the edges back to where you started and you've turned through exactly one full circle, so any polygon's exterior angles add up to 360°

Module goal. Take the triangles you just learned, join and generalize them into polygons, and master the language of polygons along with the two core relationships: interior-angle sum and exterior-angle sum
