Find the magnitude, in radians and degrees, of the interior angle of aregular(i)pentagon (ii)octagon(iii) heptagon (iv) duodecagon. |
|
Answer» Sum of the interior angles of n-sided polygon is given as `(n-2)*pi`. `:.` Interior angle of regular polygon `= ((n-2)*pi)/n` (i) Interior angle of regular pentagon `= ((5-2)*pi)/5 = (3pi)/5` radians Interior angle in degrees `= 3/5*180 = 108^@` (ii) Interior angle of regular octagon`= ((8-2)*pi)/8 = (6pi)/8 = (3pi)/4` radians Interior angle in degrees `= 3/4*180 = 135^@` (iii) Interior angle of regular heptagon `= ((7-2)*pi)/7 = (5pi)/7` radians Interior angle in degrees `= 5/7*180 = (900/7) ^@` (iv) Interior angle of regular duodecagon`= ((12-2)*pi)/12 = (5pi)/6` radians Interior angle in degrees `= 5/6*180 = 150 ^@` |
