Question

Find the number of sides of a regular polygon if each interior angle is 165°.

A.

24

B.

20

C.

26

D.

22

Correct option is A

Given:
Each interior angle of the regular polygon is 165^\circ .

Formula Used:
The formula for the interior angle A of a regular polygon with n sides is:
A=(n2)×180nA = \frac{(n - 2) \times 180}{n}​}
where:
- A is the measure of each interior angle,
- n is the number of sides of the polygon.

Solution:

Substitute A = 165 into the formula:
165=(n2)×180n165 = \frac{(n - 2) \times 180}{n}​​

Multiply both sides by n :
165n=(n2)×180165n = (n - 2) \times 180​​

Expand and rearrange to solve for n :
165n = 180n - 360
180n - 165n = 360
15n = 360

Divide both sides by 15:
n=36015 n=24n = \frac{360}{15}\\\ \\n = 24​​

The regular polygon has 24 sides.
