Answer:

Explanation:

The minimum interior angle possible for a regular polygon is given by the formula:

interior angle = (180° * (n-2)) / n

where n is the number of sides in the polygon. The formula is based on the fact that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is equal to (n-2) * 180°.

As n increases, the value of the interior angle decreases and approaches the minimum value of 180°. However, for a regular polygon, all interior angles must be equal, so the minimum possible value is given by the formula above.

For example, consider a regular hexagon (n=6). The minimum interior angle is given by:

interior angle = (180° * (6-2)) / 6 = 120°

So, the minimum interior angle possible for a regular polygon is 120°.
