Question 1087233
each time we add a side to a polygon we add 180 degrees
:
for example, 3 sides = 180, 4 sides = 360, 5 sides = 540, 6 sides = 720, ....
:
we are given that 3 interior angles are 160 degrees each and the rest are 120 degrees each
:
let the sum of the interior angles of our polygon be n, then
:
120 must divide (n - 3 * 160)
:
we see that a polygon with 6 sides is 720 and (720 - 480) = 240 which is divisible by 120
:
furthermore 8 sided polygon is 1080 and (1080 - 480) = 600 which is divisible by 120
:
now we can establish a pattern
:
Beginning with polygons with 6 sides, we have the sequence 6, 8, 10, 12, ... sided polygons that satisfy the criteria
