the measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 14 times the measure of an exterior angle. how many sides does the polygon have?
-----
The interior and its corresponding exterior angle are supplementary.
x + 14x = 180
15x = 180
x = 12 degrees (the exterior angle)
-----
Fact: The sum of the exterior angles is 360 degrees
---
# of exterior angles = 360/12 = 30
---
# of sides = # of exterior angles = 30
