You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The exterior angle of a regular polygon is the supplement of its interior angle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The interior angle of a regular polygon is given by:
\n" ); document.write( " \"A+=+%28%28n-2%29180%29%2Fn\" where: n is the number of sides of the regular polygon.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1) You can write:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"180-%28%28n-2%29180%29%2Fn+=+18\" simplify and solve for n, the number of sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28180n+-+180n+%2B+360%29%2Fn+=+18\" Multiply both sides by n
\n" ); document.write( "\"180n+-+180n+%2B+360+=+18n\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"360+=+18n\" Divide both sides by 18.
\n" ); document.write( "\"n+=+20\" sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2) Use the formula for the interior angle of a regular polygon.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28%28n-2%29180%29%2Fn+=+135\" Simplify and solve for n.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28180n+-+360%29%2Fn+=+135\" Multiply both sides by n
\n" ); document.write( "\"180n+-+360+=+135n\" Add 360 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"180n+=+135n+%2B+360\" Subtract 135n from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"45n+=+360\" Divide both sides by 45
\n" ); document.write( "\"n+=+8\" sides.
\n" ); document.write( "
