You can put this solution on YOUR website! a regular polygon has one interior angle that measures 160 degrees. how many sides does it have?
----------------
Since it's a regular polygon, all the interior angles are equal, so they're all 160 degs.
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 180*(n-2). Each angle is the total over n, in this case 160 degs.
160 = 180*(n-2)/n
160n = 180n - 360
-20n = -360
n = 18 sides
