A regular polygon is divided into congruent isosceles triangles one of the base angles of each isosceles triangle measures 84 degrees how many sides does the polygon have explain how you found the answer
----
Since the triangles are isosceles the other
equal angle is 84.
So the vertex angle = 180-(2*84) = 180-168 = 12 degrees
-------------------------
# of sides = 360/12 = 30
