The measure of the interior angle of a regular polygon is:
theta = (n - 2) * 180 / n.
So for our case, we have:
47 = (n - 2) * 180 / n.
47n = 180n - 360
-133n = -360
n = 360/133
As 360/133 is not an integer, we conclude that there is no regular polygon with interior angle 47.
OR, if you prefer to learn graphically, consider that a triangle is the polygon with the fewest number of sides. As you increase the number of sides of a regular polygon, you increase the interior angle. Thus since the interior angle of a regular triangle is 60 degrees. Thus, in order to get an angle smaller than 60 degrees, we would need to have fewer sides than a triangle - which isn't possible.
What else can I help you with?
What is a polygon that has equal side lengths and equal angle measurements?
It's a "regular" polygon.
What is the difference between a regular polygon and polygon?
A regular polygon is one whose angle measurements are all equal and side lengths are all equal. === ===
What are the description of the characteristic of a regular polygon?
If all angle measures and side lengths of a polygon are equal, that polygon can be described as regular. (e.g. each pentagon angle=108˚)
Does each angle of a regular polygon have equal sides?

What is having all sides equal?
A regular Polygon.
What is Equilateral polygon?
It is a regular polygon having all sides of equal lengths
Explain the difference between a regular polygon and a nonregular polygon?
A regular polygon has all its angles equal AND all its sides equal. A nonregular polygon has at least one angle or one side that is different from the others.
What is regulate polygon?
A regular polygon has sides of equal length and each interior angle is the same measure
What is a regular polygon?
A regular polygon is a closed, 2-dimensional figure consisting exclusively of line segments of equal length.A regular polygon is a polygon that is both equilateral and equiangular (having both equal side lengths and equals angle measures on all sides and corners of the polygon).Source: mathcaptain.com/geometry/types-of-polygons.htmlNote: This website helps you with all types of polygons, not just regular and irregular.
Is a isocels triangle a regular polygon?
A regular polygon is a shape in which all angles are equal. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides, thus two equal angles, but the other side/angle differs. Therefore an isosceles triangle is not a regular polygon.
