SSC CGL Tier II - 6 March 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q19

Find the number of diagonals of a regular polygon, sum of whose interior angles is 2700°.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 119

The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is 2700°

Formula used

(n - 2) × 180° = 2700°

n - 2 = 270/18 = 15

Sides of a regular polygon (n) = 17

The number of diagonals of a regular polygon = n (n - 3)/2 = 17 × (17 - 3)/2 = 17 × 7 = 119
