Answer:
The polygon has sides.
Explanation:
Recall that the expression for finding the measure of one interior angle of a regular polygon is , where is the number of sides the polygon has (and ), which is what we want to find.
Because the measure of one interior angle of the given polygon is , we can write the following equation to solve for :
Solving for , we get:
(Distribute the in the numerator)
(Multiply both sides of the equation by to eliminate the denominator and simplify)
(Subtract from both sides of the equation and simplify)
(Add to both sides of the equation to isolate and simplify)
(Divide both sides of the equation by to get rid of 's coefficient and simplify)
Therefore, the polygon has sides. Hope this helps!
