Algebra.Com's Answer #748027 by htmentor(1343)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2. Sum of interior angles of regular polygon = 2340 \n" ); document.write( "The sum of the interior angles of an n-sided polygon = 180(n-2). \n" ); document.write( "Two examples are n = 3, equilateral triangle, S = 180 deg and n = 4, square, S = 360 \n" ); document.write( "2340 = 180(n-2) \n" ); document.write( "n = 2340/180 + 2 = 15 \n" ); document.write( "The measure of one interior angle = 2340/15 = 156 \n" ); document.write( "The measure of one exterior angle = 360 - 156 = 204\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3. If the exterior angle = 20, this implies an interior angle of 340 degrees. \n" ); document.write( "Interior angles of polygons must be less than 180 degrees, so the polygon does not exist.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5. Heptagon has more sides and thus the larger interior angle \n" ); document.write( "Heptagon: 180(7-2) = 900 -> Interior angle = 900/7 = 128.57 \n" ); document.write( "Hexagon: 180(6-2) = 720 -> Interior angle = 720/6 = 120 \n" ); document.write( "Greater by 8.57 deg\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "7. Let x = the smallest angle. 180(n-2) = 720 = x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 + x+4 + x+5 \n" ); document.write( "180(n-2) = 6x + 15 = 720 \n" ); document.write( "x = 705/6 = 117.5\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
