Question

If a interior angle of regular polygon equal 174. 5 how many ide doe a polygon have

Answer 1

Each interior angle of a regular polygon is 174°

To find The number of sides of the polygon.

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the number of sides of the polygon)

Now, the sum of an interior angle and an exterior angle of a regular polygon is always equal to 180°.

So, the exterior angle of the given regular polygon :

= (Sum of an interior angle and an exterior angle) - (An interior angle)

= 180° - 174°

= 6°

Let, the number of sides of the regular polygon = n

Now, the value of an exterior angle of a regular polygon = (360° / Number of sides)

So, the exterior angle of the given regular polygon :

= (360°/n)

By, comparing the two values of an exterior angle of the given regular polygon, we get :

360/n = 6

n × 6 = 360

n = 360/6

n = 60

Number of sides of the regular polygon = n = 60

(This will be considered the final result.)

Hence, the number of sides of the regular polygon is 60.
