Help me with this brain-eating Geometry, anyone? Please?? It's killing my brain!!! D: Haha jk.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is eleven times that of an exterior angle. How many sides does the polygon have?

@sleepyjess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i came here just to say that i also hate geometry. It is toxic and should be killed. :(

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

^ XD ikr?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

yaaassss @ertdre

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

i=11e i=interior e=exterior

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Interior... 180, yah? Exterior... 360, yah?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

|dw:1414981983818:dw| btw that is just a random shape

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Yeah, that looks familiar, actually. ^.^

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

|dw:1414982053934:dw| that must = 180

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

so 12e=180 how do you get rid of 12?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Subtract from both sides??

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

no you are multiplying so you will do the opposite

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Oh. Whoops. XD

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

so what does e equal?

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Wait, so we're adding 12, right?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

no what is the opposite of multiplying? peMDas

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

OH!! I know!! \(\bf\color{red}{Division}\)!!!!!

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

\(\large\color{lime}{yes~~\ddot\smile}\)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

so divide both sides by 12

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... 15! XD

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

yes so how do we find the # of sides knowing the exterior angle measure?!?!

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

360/12

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

almost!!! 360/e e=15

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

\(\bf\color{lime}{24}\)

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

My "post" button keeps running away out of reach. ;~;

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

just hti tab enter

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

Oh, I didn't think of that xD

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

So we have a polygon with \(\bf\color{lime}{24}\) sides, right? ^.^

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

yes lol

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

\(\Large\bf\color{magenta}{YAY!}\) XD

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

|dw:1414982687900:dw| there is my drawing lol
