Qs 4. By finding the size of each exterior angle of a regular polygon with 24 sides, calculate the size of each interior angle of the polygon.
Answers
The sum of the exterior angles is 360 degrees. Each of the exterior angles = 360/24 = 15 degrees.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that sum of exterior angle of polygon is 360°.
Now,
(Sum of exterior angle)/(number of sides) = size of each exterior angle
Assume that size of each exterior angle is x.
Substitute the values,
→ 360°/24 = x
→ 15° = x
So, the each of the exterior angle is of 15°.
Now,
Exterior angle = 180° - Interior angle
Substitute the values,
→ 15° = 180° - Interior angle
→ Interior angle = 180° - 15°
→ Interior angle = 165°
Hence, the the size of each interior angle of the ppolygo is 165°.
Additional Information:
Sum of polygon interior angles = (n - 2) × 180°
Polygon interior angles = [(n - 2) × 180°]/n
Exterior angle = 180° - Interior angle
Sum of angles = n × Exterior angle
