how many sides does a polygon have if the average measure of interior angles is 6 times the average measure of exterior angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:P its one of the problems for mathcounts

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

hint nx = 360 where n = number of sides and x is the average vaue of exterior angles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still don't get it.

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

do you know any other formula related to polygons?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there any formula to find x in the equation?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

total interior angles = 180(n - 2)

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

- and we are given that the total interior angles is 6nx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it! 180n=2520 and n=14. is that correct?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes - its correct
