Question

The sum of all the interior angles of a polygon is four times the sum of its exterior angles.Find the number of sides in the polygon.Also,find the measures of each exterior angle and each interior angles.(with steps)

Answer 1

Answer:

10 sides, 114, for each interior angle, and 36 for each exterior angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sum of all exterior angle is 360 multiply by 4 which gets you 1140. Then we know that there are 8 sides to an octagon to find the sum of all the interior angles we can multiply the number of sides minus 2 by 180. Now knowing this we can do this for an octagon which gives us 1080. Since that is close to 1140 we can play around with the numbers and we will eventually go with the number 10 we minus this by 2 and multiply by 180 to get 1140. To find the measurement of 1 interior angle we would divide that number by the sides, so 1140 by 10 to get 114 for our 1 interior measurement. to get the 1 exterior measurement we would divide 360 by the number of sides which gives us 36 since the sum of all exterior measurements equals 360. I hope this helps.
