Find the number of sides of a regular polygon if each interior angle of the polygon is (a) 140 (b) 162, (c) 172, (d) 175.
pls I need the answer right know
Answers
Answer:
a) 140
Let the number of sides in the given regular polygon be n
Since the interior angle of the given regular polygon is 140
The sum of the interior angles = (2n - 4)×
right angle
so,140n = (2n - 4) ×90
or, 140n =180n-360
n = 9 sides
Hence, the number of sides in the given polygon is 9
b) 162
As interior angles are 162 , each exterior angle is 180 - 162 =18°
Sum of all the exterior angles of a polygon is always 360 and as each exterior angle is 18
Number of angles / sides of polygon are
360/10 = 20
c) 172
when interior angle =172° then exterior angle =180–172 =8
number of sides polygon has =360/8 =90 =45 sides
The polygon has 45 sides of equal length
d)175
A regular polygon with each interior angle of 175 deg will have each exterior angle as 180–175 = 5 deg. Hence the number of sides in the regular polygon = 360/5 = 72 sides
