Maybe he means a proof of a result which you can see visually by looking at a certain diagram, or he may mean a proof that uses geometry. I can't be sure unless you provide more information! :)

Hmm well he was talking about proving that the exterior angles of any polygon would equal 360 degrees... I'm not too sure about how to go about solving it... I'm not sure, and we don't have any notes on it yet, they're coming in this week...

Here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_angle

The proof is pretty simple too, although they don't exactly give one. Can you think of why it's true?

I know all that >.< but I don't know exactly how to prove that all exterior angles of any polygon are equal to 360 degrees.. :( I feel so dumb, this stuff is easy yet I don't know how to do it >.< I don't know if I should ask my lecturer or not. Hmm...
