Question

Find the measure of an interior angle and exterior angle of a regular 24gon

Answer 1

Answer:

Interior Angle: 165°

Exterior Angle: 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you have to find the sum of all interior angles of a polygon with 24 sides. This can be found using the formula:

sum = ( n - 2 ) * 180°     where 'n' is the number of sides.

When 'n = 24' then the sum is:

sum = ( 24 - 2 ) * 180°

Simplify and solve.

sum = 22 * 180°

sum = 3960°

Since there are 24 sides to the polygon, there are 24 interior angles. Assuming that this polygon is equilateral, you can surmise that:

Interior Angle = sum° / n   where n is the number of sides,

3960° / 24 = 165° = Interior Angle

Using that information, and combine it with the [Supplementary Angles Theorem] the exterior angle can be found by:

165° + x = 180°

Solve for x.
