how many sides does a regular polygon have if each of its interior angle is 165 a)not possible b)12 c)15 d)24
Answers
Given Interior angle = 165. = 24. Therefore the number of sides = 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Interior angle = 165.
The measure of each exterior angle = 180 - 165
= 15
We know that sum of each exterior angles = 360
= 360/15
= 24.
Therefore the number of sides = 24.
Hope this helps!

- How many sides does a regular polygon have if each of its interior angle is 165?
a)not possible
b)12
c)15
d)24
- As we know , interior and the exterior angles make a linear pair
They add up to make 180°
- Now, then the measure of the exterior angle will be
= 180° - 165°
= 15°
- The sum of the exterior angles of polygon is 360°
- Then the values of exterior angle,
=360° ÷ 15°
= 24
●Do remind that, the number of exterior angles = the number of interior angles = the number of sides in polygon
Therefore there are 24 sides in this regular polygon so, option d)24 is correct.
