Find the number of the sides of a regular polygon if each exterior angle measure is 18?? I'm stumped. \n" ); document.write( "------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "The sum of the INTERIOR angle of a polygon with n sides is 180*(n-2). Each angle is (180*(n-2))/n. \n" ); document.write( "The exterior angles are 180-interior angle, so this is a polygon with interior angles of 162 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "So, 180*(n-2)/n = 162 \n" ); document.write( "180*(n-2) = 162n \n" ); document.write( "180n-360 = 162n \n" ); document.write( "18n = 360 \n" ); document.write( "n = 20 \n" ); document.write( "I don't remember the name of that one, maybe duodecagon. \n" ); document.write( " |
