Sum of interior angles = 1260°

(n - 2) x 180° = 1260°

(n - 2) x 180 = 1260

Divide both sides by 180

n - 2 = $\frac{1260}{180}$

n - 2 = 7

n = 7 + 2

n = 9

Sum of exterior angles of a polygon = 360°

3x + 2x + x + 10 + 4x + 50 + 20 = 360

10x + 80 = 360

10x = 360 - 80

10x = 280

Divide both sides by 10

x = $\frac{280}{10}$ = 28

Find the value of y in order to calculate each angles to determine the type of triangle.

Angles of the triangle are (y + 10)°, (2y - 40)° and (3y - 90)°

Sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°

y + 10 + 2y - 40 + 3y - 90 = 180

6y - 120 = 180

6y = 180 + 120

6y = 300

Divide both sides by 6

y = $\frac{300}{6}$ = 50

Angle y + 10 = 50 + 10 = 60°

Angle 2y - 40 = 2 x 50 - 40 = 100 - 40 = 60°

3y - 90 = 3 x 50 - 90 = 150 - 90 = 60°

All the angles are the same (60°) hence the triangle is equilateral

Sum of interior angles = 1260°

(n - 2) x 180° = 1260°

(n - 2) x 180 = 1260

Divide both sides by 180

n - 2 = $\frac{1260}{180}$

n - 2 = 7

n = 7 + 2

n = 9

The sum of all the exterior angles of a polygon is always 360^o

When you sum all the exterior angles, you should get 360^o

(2x + 5)⁰ + (2x)⁰ + (x - 20)⁰ + (x)⁰ + (3x + 10)⁰ + (x + 15)⁰ = 360⁰

2x + 5 + 2x + x - 20 + x + 3x + 10 + x + 15 = 360

10x + 10 = 360

10x = 360 - 10

10x = 350

Divide both sides by 10

x = $\frac{350}{10}$ = 35

Exterior angle = $\frac{360}{\mathrm{No\; of\; sides}}$

Let x = exterior angle

Interior angle = 2 x the exterior angle
Interior angle = 2 x x

Interior angle + Exterior angle = 180^o

2x + x = 180^o
3x = 180^o

Divide both sides by 3

x = $\frac{180}{3}$

x = 60^o

The exterior angle = 60^o

60 = $\frac{360}{\mathrm{No\; of\; sides}}$

60 x No of sides = 360

Divide both sides by 60

No of sides = $\frac{360}{60}$

No of sides = 6

Concept

Sum of exterior angles of any polygon = 360°

61° + 76° + (x + 10)° + (2x + 45)° = 360°
61 + 76 + x + 10 + 2x + 45 = 360
3x + 192 = 360
3x = 360 - 192
3x = 168

Divide both sides by 3

x = $\frac{168}{3}$

x = 56

n = k.

Sum of interior of regular polygon with k sides = (k - 2) x 180

But the sum is given as (3k - 10) x 90°

Note: right angle = 90°

(k - 2) x 180 = (3k - 10) x 90

Divide both sides by 90

(k - 2) x 2 = (3k - 10) x 1

2k - 4 = 3k - 10

10 - 4 = 3k - 2k

6 = k

∴ the polygon has 6 sides.

Number of sides of the polygon = 6

Exterior angle of the polygon = $\frac{\mathrm{360°}}{6}$ = 60°

Exterior angle of a regular polygon or not

Exterior angle of a regular polygon x n = 360°

n = $\frac{\mathrm{360°}}{\mathrm{Exterior\; angle\; of\; a\; regular\; polygon}}$

If n is whole number then the angle is an exterior angle.

66°

n = $\frac{\mathrm{360°}}{\mathrm{66°}}$ = 5.4545

Not an exterior angle of a regular polygon since n is not a whole number.

72°

n = $\frac{\mathrm{360°}}{\mathrm{72°}}$ = 5

Is an exterior angle of a regular polygon since n is a whole number.

24°

n = $\frac{\mathrm{360°}}{\mathrm{24°}}$ = 15

Is an exterior angle of a regular polygon since n is a whole number.

15°

n = $\frac{\mathrm{360°}}{\mathrm{15°}}$ = 24

Is an exterior angle of a regular polygon since n is a whole number.

168 = $\frac{\mathrm{(n\; -\; 2)\; x\; 180°}}{\mathrm{n}}$

168 x n = (n - 2) x 180

168n = 180n - 360

360 = 180n - 168n

360 = 12n

Divide both sides by 12.

n = $\frac{360}{12}$

n = 30

Number of sides of the polygon = 5 (since 5 angles are given)

Sum of angles = (5 - 2) x 180°

Sum of angles = 3 x 180°

Sum of angles = 540°

3x° + 2x° + 4x° + 3x° + 6x° = 540°

18x° = 540°

Divide both sides by 18

x = $\frac{540}{18}$ = 30

The smallest angle = 2x°

The smallest angle = 2 x 30°

The smallest angle = 60°
