What is the measure of each angle in a regular polygon with 18 sides? a) 156 b) 160 c) 180 d) 320

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know that angle in polygon 180(n-2) where n is number of sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 180(n-18) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

180(18-2)*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and when is regular all of angles are equal :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did u get it? @Pricilla077

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so to get the answer I put 180 times 18-2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u also need to divide it by 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let us take a reqular pentagon at first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. of sides = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, 180(5-2) gives sum of all angles of a pentagon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thing is, I dont get the part that 180(5-2). do i miltiply 180*5-2 or divide it ?
