If the difference between the interior and exterior angles of a regular polygon is 100°, find the number of sides of the polygon.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 9.
Let the sides of the polygon = n
Interior angle
Exterior angle = 360/n
Interior angle − Exterior angle = 100°
⇒
⇒
⇒ (180n - 720)/n = 100
⇒ 180n - 720 = 100n
⇒ 80n = 720
⇒ n = 9
