The measure of one interior angle of a regular polygon is two times the measure of one of its exterior angles. How many sides does this polygon have? \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "Let the interior angle be 2x; Let the exterior angle be \"x\": \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "X + 2x = 180 \n" ); document.write( "3x = 180 \n" ); document.write( "x = 60 degrees (each exterior angle) \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "The sum of the exterior angles is 360 degrees \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "# of exterior angles = 360/60 = 6 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "# of sides = 6 \n" ); document.write( "================ \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
