An interior angle of a polygon and its adjacent exterior angle are complementary?
No, they are supplementary, not complementary.
The measure of an interior angle of a regular polygon is 150 degrees Find the number of sides?
AnswerIt is Dodecagon.To find this, you have to first find the exterior angle of the polygon. Since the exterior angle of a polygon is always supplementary to the interior angle, you subtract the measure of the interior angle from 180. 180-150=30. Now You divide 360 by the measure of the exterior angle to get the number of sides of the polygon. 360/30=12. A 12-sided polygon is called a dodecagon
What is the measure of an interior angle for a regular ten-sided polygon?
144o. Sum of exterior angles of a polygon is 360o. Each exterior angle for a regular decagon is 360o / 10 = 36o. Exterior and interior angles are supplementary, that is sum to 180o. Therefore the interior angle of a regular decagon is 180o - 36o = 144o.
Give the formulas for finding the number of sides of a regular polygon when given the measure of an interior angle?
180-interior angle = exterior angle 360/exterior angle = number of sides
How many sides does an equiangular polygon have if the measure of an angle of the polygon exceeds four times the measure of one of it's exterior angles by 30?
Interior angle + Exterior angle = 180 So Interior angle = 180 - Exterior angle Interior angle = 4*Exterior angle + 30 Substitute for Interior angle: 180 - Exterior angle = 4*Exterior angle + 30 Collect like terms: 150 = 5*Exterior angle Divide by 5: Exterior angle = 30 deg Therefore number of sides = 360/30 = 12
