Question

What is the value of x in the regular polygon below?

A. 40
B. 120
C. 60
D. 150

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 6, thus

sum = 180° × 4 = 720°

Thus each interior angle = 720° ÷ 6 = 120° and therefore

3x = 120 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 40 → A
