Number of sides of an n-sided regular polygon
If the interior angle of a regular polygon is x° and the number of sides is 'n', then =
Each interior angle
=
x =
nx = 180n – 360
360 = 180n – nx
360 = n(180 – x)
n =
If the sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is s, and the number of sides is 'n', then
(n – 2) × 180 = s
n – 2 =
n = + 2 =
