Question

Is it possible to have a regular polygon whose each interior angle is 130°?

Solution

Each interior angle of a regular polygon is given by (n-2)×180°nwhere n is the number of sides of that polygon.

So, (n-2)×180°n=130°180n-360=130n50n=360n=7.2

The number of sides of a polygon has to be a natural number.

Since, n is the number of the sides of a polygon, it cannot have the value of 7.2

Hence, it is not possible to have a regular polygon whose each interior angle is 130°
