You can put this solution on YOUR website! How Many Sides Are In The Polygon If The Measure Of The Interior Angle Is 156?
===================
Ext angles = 180 - 156 = 24 degs
360/24 = 15 sides
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming that this is a regular polygon...
The easiest way to do this is to recall that the sum of the EXTERIOR angles is 360, and that an interior angle + its exterior angle = 180 (because they make a straight line). Thus, if the interior angles are each 156, the exterior angles are each 180-156=24. Now, if you take 360/24 (because each exterior angle is 24 and they need to add to 360), you get 15. Thus, there are 15 sides.
