![**Mathematics Problem: Calculating the Exterior Angle of a Regular Polygon**
**Problem Statement:**
Find the measure of a single exterior angle of the regular polygon shown below. If necessary, round to *the nearest tenth*.
**Diagram:**
The diagram illustrates a regular polygon in the shape of a triangle (a regular three-sided polygon).
**Solution Box:**
There is an answer input box provided below the problem statement where you can enter your answer. The box is accompanied by a "Submit Answer" button to record your answer.
Additional controls for the solution box:
- A small circular icon next to the answer input box.
- Buttons with plus (+) and minus (-) signs to adjust the input.
- An option to switch to keyboard input, represented by an icon that looks like a keyboard.
**Guidelines:**
To solve the problem, use the formula for the exterior angle of a regular polygon:
\[ \text{Exterior Angle} = \frac{360^\circ}{n} \]
where \( n \) is the number of sides of the polygon (in this case, \( n = 3 \) for a triangle).
Make sure to round your answer to the nearest tenth if needed.
**Interactive Element:**
The system indicates that this is the first attempt out of a possible two tries.
Please enter your calculated angle measure in the provided box and submit it using the "Submit Answer" button to check your response.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/1a1e818c-f3b9-4aa2-aa55-117b1328ca33/23080db1-eb49-48d4-9f31-6cbe7c739098/w82xml4_processed.png)
