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