You can put this solution on YOUR website! if the measure of an exterior angle of a regular polygon is greater than 50 and less than 55, how many sides does the polygon have?
-------------
n = # of sides
For all polygons the sum of exterior angles = 360 degs
360/50 = 7.2 sides
360/55 = 6.5 sides
----
The integer between 7.2 & 6.5 is 7
--> 7 sides
===================
360/7 =~ 51.43 degs (for a regular polygon with 7 sides)
