Find the number of sides of a regular polygon with an interior angle measuring 179 degrees?
Question
Answer:
n = 360° / A
Where:
n is the number of sides of the polygon.
A is the measure of the interior angle.
In your case, the interior angle is 179 degrees, so you can calculate the number of sides as follows:
n = 360° / 179° ≈ 2.0112
Since the number of sides must be a whole number (a polygon cannot have a fraction of a side), you need to round it to the nearest whole number. In this case, rounding up is appropriate because you can't have a fraction of a side in a polygon.
