Math Problem Statement
Angle in regular polygon
Solution
To find the interior angle of a regular polygon, where all sides and angles are equal, you can use the following formula:
Where:
- is the number of sides of the polygon.
Explanation:
- The sum of the interior angles of any polygon is .
- Since all angles in a regular polygon are equal, dividing this sum by the number of sides gives the measure of each interior angle.
