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?

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

^ XD ikr?

i=11e
i=interior
e=exterior
whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):
Interior... 180, yah?
Exterior... 360, yah?

btw that is just a random shape
whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):
Yeah, that looks familiar, actually. ^.^

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?

Wait, so we're adding 12, right?
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
no what is the opposite of multiplying?

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

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

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
