Answer:
45 sides
Step-by-step explanation:
A regular polygon with n sides has a total of
(n − 2)180° internal degrees.
This can be understood as the number of triangles in which the polygon can be decomposed.
A regular polygon with an interior angle of 172º has a total of n172 (n - 2)180.
Solving for n we have = n172°
So we have :
n(172) = (n-2) 180
which implies :
n = 45 sides
