Question

| the British 50-pence coin shown on the right is in the shape of a

regular heptagon. Determine the measure of one interior angle.
Show your work.

Answer 1

hello,

Explanation:

center angle : 360°/7 °

half interior angle=0.5*(180-360/7)=900/14=450/7 = 64 ° +2/7° ≈64.3 °

interior angle= 128°+4/7°≈128.6 °

Answer 2

For a regular polygon with n sides, interior angle

= [(n-2) × 180°]/n

So, interior angle of this regular heptagon shape

= [(7 - 2) × 180°]/7

= (5 × 180°)/7

= 900°/7

= (900/7)°

= 128.571° [approximately]
