The sum of the measures of the exterior angles of a pentagon is ____ degrees?

An exterior angle for a polygon is formed by extending one side of the polygon from one if its endpoints. If you extend each side of a polygon to form one exterior angle at each vertex, you get a set of exterior angles. This conjecture tells us that the sum of a set of exterior angles is 360 degrees.
