The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is six times its sum of exterior angles. Find the number of sides.

Show answer

14

Sum of interior angles = (n - 2) × 180°. Sum of exterior angles = 360°. Given: (n - 2) × 180° = 6 × 360°. So, (n - 2) × 180° = 2160°. Divide by 180°: n - 2 = 12. Therefore, n = 14. The correct answer is 14.

An exterior angle and an interior angle of a regular polygon are in the ratio 2:7. Find the number of sides.

Show answer

9

Let exterior angle = 2x and interior angle = 7x. At a vertex, exterior angle + interior angle = 180°. So, 2x + 7x = 180°. Thus, 9x = 180° and x = 20°. Exterior angle = 2x = 40°. Number of sides = 360° / 40° = 9. The correct answer is 9.

In a pentagon, the exterior angles are 24°, 48°, 72°, 96°, and 120°. Find the sum of the exterior angles and verify the polygon rule.

Show answer

360°

Add the five exterior angles: 24° + 48° + 72° + 96° + 120°. First, 24 + 48 = 72. Then 72 + 72 = 144. Then 144 + 96 = 240. Then 240 + 120 = 360. The sum is 360°. The correct answer is 360°.

A polygon has 8 sides. Find the number of triangles formed by drawing diagonals from one vertex and then use it to find the sum of interior angles.

Show answer

6 triangles, 1080°

For an n-sided polygon, the number of triangles formed from one vertex is n - 2. Here n = 8, so triangles = 8 - 2 = 6. Each triangle has angle sum 180°. So total interior angle sum = 6 × 180° = 1080°. The correct answer is 6 triangles, 1080°.
