How many sides has a regular polygon whose interior angle is 135o
Answer Details
The formula to find the interior angle of a regular polygon is: Interior angle = (n - 2) × 180° / n Where "n" is the number of sides of the polygon. We are given that the interior angle of the regular polygon is 135°, so we can substitute this value into the formula and solve for "n": 135 = (n - 2) × 180° / n Multiplying both sides by "n": 135n = (n - 2) × 180° Distributing on the right-hand side: 135n = 180n - 360° Subtracting 135n from both sides: 0 = 45n - 360° Adding 360° to both sides: 360° = 45n Dividing both sides by 45: 8 = n So the regular polygon has 8 sides. Looking at the given answer options, we see that the answer is (D) 8.
