Answer:
The polygon has 5 sides.

Explanation:
Given in the diagram, the angle between the ends of each side is given i.e. 24degrees between ends of a side from the centre. Or it can also be said that each side of the polygon subtends an angle at the centre 'O' i.e. each 24*.

=> We know that sum of angles around a point = 360*, so sum of angles around centre = 360*
And 24* in the centre subtends a side of the polygon;
Using the logic - no. of sides = 360*/24* = 15 = 15 sides

Answer:

15 sides

Explanation:

As we know the full angles of a polygon is 360°

And

Each side has angle 24°

So,

n = 360/24

n = 15 sides

I hope my answer helps you.
