What is the name of the polygon with the smallest number of sides a regular polygon with obtuse angles can have?
triangel
What shape has the smallest number of sides a regular polygon with obtuse angles can have?
An obtuse triangle has 3 sides.
Can a regular polygon's interior angles measure 40 degrees?
No. To elaborate, the smallest regular polygon, an equilateral triangle, has 60 degree interior angles. The next larger one, a square, has 90 degree interior angles. In fact, for any regular polygon, the interior angles measure 180*(n-2)/n degrees, where n is the number of sides. No polygon has less than 3 sides. Thus, no regular polygon can have interior angles less than 60 degrees.
How does a polygon have the same number of sides and angles?
i don't really get the "same number of sides" ----- the angles of a polygon are the same with other angles within the polygon, if it is a regular polygon, and there a formula for getting the total sum of angles which is 180X(N-2) where N is the number of sides.
What is the total number of degrees on the interior angles of a regular 6 sided polygon?
A 6 sided polygon is called a Hexagon. The sum of the interior angles or a regular hexagon is 720 degrees.
How many sides does a polygon have with interior angles of 45 degrees?
22/3 sides.-- The smallest possible number of sides for a polygon is 3, in a triangle.If the triangle is regular, then each interior angle is 60 degrees.-- The next polygon is the quadrilateral, with 4 sides. If the quadrilateralis regular, then each interior angle is 90 degrees.-- We can see that as the number of sides increases, the interior angles get bigger.-- So the triangle is the polygon with the smallest interior angles.And those are 60 degrees, so a polygon with all45-degree interior anglesisn't possible. Some of them could be, but never all.
If the polygon is regular what is the size of its interior angles?
equation for any regular polygon when n = number of sides: 180(n-2)/n
How will you get the sum of the angles of a regular polygon?
(number of sides-2)*180 = total sum of interior angles
Can a regular polygon be defined as a polygon that has a regular number of sides?
No; apart from the fact that "regular number" of sides does not mean anything. What numbers do you consider to be regular and why? In any case, a regular polygon is one which has all sides of equal length AND all angles of equal measure. A square is the only regular 4-sided polygon. A rectangle has equal angles but not sides, a rhombus has equal sides but not angles. All other quadrilaterals fail on both counts.
How many sides of a regular polygon with interior angles of 178?
Interior angles 178 so exterior angles 2. Number of sides of any regular polygon = 360/exterior angle You polygon has 180 sides. Bet you're glad you didn't have to sketch it!
What polygon has equal sides and equal angles?
A polygon that has congruent sides and congruent angles is called a Regular polygon. If the number of sides is given, you can be more specific. Some examples: 3 congruent sides/angles = equilateral triangle 4 congruent sides/angles = square 5 congruent sides/angles = regular pentagon 6 congruent sides/angles = regular hexagon ...and so on, by adding "regular" in front of the shape's name.
How many degrees does a regular polygon have?
-- The exterior angles of a polygon add up to 360 degrees, no matter how many of them there are.-- The interior angles of a polygon add up to [ (180) times (number of sides minus 2) ].-- These are both true whether or not the polygon is 'regular'.
