Question 335576: The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 14 times the measure of an exterior angle. How many sides does the polygon have? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 14 times the measure of an exterior angle. How many sides does the polygon have?
----------------------
x + 14x = 180
15x = 180
x = 12 degrees (this is the exterior angle)
---------------------
Fact: The sum of all the exterior angles is 360 degrees.
---
# of exterior angles = 360/12 = 30
----
# of sides = # of exterior angles = 30
