Question

In a regular polygon, the measure of an interior angle is 6.5 times the measure of an exterior angle. How many sides does the polygon have?

Answer 1

Answer:

15 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Always the sum of interior angle and exterior angle = 180

Let the exterior angle = x

Interior angle = 6.5 *x = 6.5x

x + 6.5x = 180

7.5x = 180

     x = 180/7.5

     x = 24

Exterior angle = 24°

Sum of exterior angles of any polygon = 360

number of side = Sum of exterior angles ÷ measure of each exterior angle

                         = 360 ÷ 24

                        = 15
