The sum of measures of the interior angles of any n-gon is given by )
. Since this is a regular polygon and since the number of interior angles of any polygon is equal to the number of vertices is equal to the number of sides, if the measure of one interior angle is 162 degrees, then the sum of the measures of the interior angles must be 
, hence:
\ =\ 162n)
So solve for 
to determine the number of sides and multiply the number of sides times the given measure of one side to get the perimeter.
