Question

Is it possible to have a regular polygon whose interior angle is : 170°

Sum

Solution

No. of sides = n

each interior angle = 170°

`therefore ("n" - 2)/"n" xx 180^circ = 170^circ`

180n - 360° = 170n

180n - 170n = 360°

10n = 360°

n = `(360°)/10`

n = 36

which is a whole number.

Hence it is possible to have a regular polygon

whose interior angle is 170°
