Math Problem Statement
Can you give me a regular polygon with side lengths equal to 3cm each angle measurement's are 180 degree
Solution
A regular polygon is a polygon with all sides and angles equal. The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with sides (an -gon) is given by the formula:
Each interior angle of a regular -gon is:
You mentioned that each angle is 180 degrees. Let's substitute this into the formula and solve for :
Dividing both sides by 180 degrees:
To solve for , we multiply both sides by :
This is a contradiction, meaning there is no regular polygon with each interior angle equal to 180 degrees.
A polygon with angles of 180 degrees doesn't exist because angles of 180 degrees imply a straight line
