Each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 20° . How many sides are there in the
polygon? What is the measure of each interior angle of the regular polygon?
Answers
•ANSWER•
•Sides
SidesSince the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360° and an angle of the regular polygon is 20°, then 360° / 20° is the number of sides. Let the number of sides be n.
•n = 18, an octadecagon.
•Measure of Each Interior Angle
Measure of Each Interior Angle If you imagine a regular octadecagon (or any polygon), you will notice that the exterior angle is the supplement of the interior angle.
•20° = 180° - 1, where 1 is the interior angle.
°[20°] + 1 = [180° -1] + 1
°[20° + 1] - 20° = [180°] - 20°
°1 = 160°
