Question
Find the number of side of a regular polygon, when of its angle has a measure of 160° .
Solution
\[ \text{ Each interior angle } = \left( \frac{2n - 4}{n} \times 90 \right)^° \]
\[So, \left( \frac{2n - 4}{n} \times 90 \right)^° = 160° \]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{2n - 4}{n} = \frac{160° }{90° }\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{2n - 4}{n} = \frac{16}{9}\]
\[ \Rightarrow 18n - 36 = 16n\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2n = 36\]
\[ \therefore n = 18\]
