Algebra.Com's Answer #303761 by Gogonati(855) You can put this solution on YOUR website! In each polygon the sum of exterior angels is 360 degree. \n" ); document.write( "Let n the number of interior angels of the polygon. The sum of interior angels is:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(n-2)180. Since the measure of interior angels is equal to the measure of \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "exterior angels we write:(n-2)180=360 => n-2=360/180 => n-2=2 => n=4.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer:The requested polygon is the square. \n" ); document.write( " |
