Algebra.Com's Answer #717168 by Alan3354(69443) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 24 more than 38 times the measure of each exterior angle. Find the number of sides of the polygon. \n" ); document.write( "I attempted this by trying to solve for each interior angle. \n" ); document.write( "I+24=38E and got I=178 \n" ); document.write( "Then, I entered that in [180(n-2)]/n =178. I got 180 and the answer should be 90. Where did I go wrong? \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "Int + Ext = 180 \n" ); document.write( "I = 38E + 24 \n" ); document.write( "--> 38E + 24 + E = 180 \n" ); document.write( "39E = 156 \n" ); document.write( "E = 4 degs \n" ); document.write( "sides = 360/E = 90 sides \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
