If the measure of each interior angle of a polygon is 176 degrees, how many sides does the polygon have?
---
The corresponding exterior angle is 180-176 = 4 degrees.
----
Fact: The sum of the exterior angles is 360 degrees.
----
# of exterior angles = 360/4 = 90
----
# of sides = # of exterior angles = 90
