Answer 1

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior and exterior angle of a polygon is supplementary

let interior be I

let exterior be E

I + E = 180

Since the interior angle is 8 times that of an exterior angle,

8E + E = 180          [replacing I with 8E]  

9E = 180                

E = 20                      

The exterior angle is 20 degrees

I + E = 180          

I + 20 = 180      

I = 160              

The interior angle is 160 degrees.

The equation to find the interior angle of a polygon with 'n' number of sides is:

I = ( (n − 2) × 180 ) ⁄ n

We know the interior angle, so plug it in and solve for n:

160 = ( (n − 2) × 180 ) ⁄ n      

160n = (n − 2) × 180            

160n = 180n − 360                  

-20n = -360                            

n = 18
