The measure of each exterior angle is 60° and the polygon has 6 sides ⇒ 4th answer
Step-by-step explanation:
In a regular n-side polygon:
- All sides are equal in lengths
- All angles are equal in measure
- The measure of each interior angle =
- The measure of each exterior angle =
- The sum of interior angle and exterior angle at a vertex is 180°
∵ The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is 120°
∵ The sum of interior angle and exterior angle at a vertex = 180°
∴ The measure of each exterior angle = 180 - 120
∴ The measure of each exterior angle = 60°
∵ The measure of each exterior angle =
- Substitute the measure of the exterior angle by 60
∴
- By using cross multiplication
∴ 60 n = 360
- Divide both sides by 60
∴ n = 6
∴ The polygon has 6 sides
The measure of each exterior angle is 60° and the polygon has 6 sides
