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 ^@`
