how many sides does a regular polygon have if each of its interior angle is 165 degree
A regular polygon with each interior angle 165∘165^\circ 165∘ has 24 sides.
Here’s the quick reasoning: For a regular polygon with nnn sides, each interior angle is
Interior angle=(n−2)×180n\text{Interior angle}=\frac{(n-2)\times 180}{n}Interior angle=n(n−2)×180
Set this equal to 165:
(n−2)×180n=165\frac{(n-2)\times 180}{n}=165n(n−2)×180=165
Multiply both sides by nnn:
180(n−2)=165n180(n-2)=165n180(n−2)=165n
Expand:
180n−360=165n180n-360=165n180n−360=165n
Bring like terms together:
180n−165n=360⇒15n=360180n-165n=360\Rightarrow 15n=360180n−165n=360⇒15n=360
So:
n=36015=24n=\frac{360}{15}=24n=15360=24
So the polygon is a 24‑gon (regular polygon with 24 equal sides and 24 equal angles).
