Answer:

12.gon - An interior angle measures 150°

Called a Dodecagon, the sum of all of its interior angles is 1,800° therefore each individual angle is;

= 1,800/12

= 150°

15-gon - An exterior angle measures 24°

The sum of all the exterior angles of a polygon add up to 360 so a polygon with a 24° exterior angle is;

= 360/24

= 15°

16-gon - The sum of the interior angles is 2,520°

Known as a hexadecagon, each interior angle of this polygon is a 157.5° and when added up this comes to 2,520°.

18-gon - An interior angle measures 160°

The formula for calculating the interior angle of a polygon is;

Angle = (n−2) × 180° / n

160 = (n−2) × 180° / n

160n = 180n - 360

360 = 20n

n = 18

Other tiles

The sum of the exterior angles is 180º - all exterior angles must add up to 360º so this does not exist.

The sum of the interior angles is 2,160° - this is a 14 sided polygon which is not listed in the options.
