To find the measure of an exterior angle of a polygon, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Exterior Angle} = \frac{360°}{n}
\]
where \( n \) is the number of sides of the polygon. In this case, Rhianna is working with a polygon that has five sides (a pentagon).
Substituting \( n = 5 \):
\[
\text{Exterior Angle} = \frac{360°}{5} = 72°
\]
Therefore, the angle measure of any one exterior angle is **72°**.
