Which of the following cannot be the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon: 1,530°, 3,420°, 6,480°, and 4,500°?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]1,530^o[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate the sum of the interior angles in a convex polygon is equal to

[tex]S=(n-2)180^o[/tex]

where

n is the number of sides of the polygon

Remember that the number of sides n must be a whole number

Verify each case

case 1) we have

[tex]S=1,530^o[/tex]

Find the number of sides n

substitute in the formula

[tex]1,530^o=(n-2)180^o[/tex]

[tex]n=10.5\ sides[/tex]

The number of sides is not a whole number

therefore

The given number cannot be the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon

case 2) we have

[tex]S=3,420^o[/tex]

Find the number of sides n

substitute in the formula

[tex]3,420^o=(n-2)180^o[/tex]

[tex]n=21\ sides[/tex]

The number of sides is a whole number

therefore

The given number can be the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon

case 3) we have

[tex]S=6,480^o[/tex]

Find the number of sides n

substitute in the formula

[tex]6,480^o=(n-2)180^o[/tex]

[tex]n=38\ sides[/tex]

The number of sides is a whole number

therefore

The given number can be the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon

case 4) we have

[tex]S=4,500^o[/tex]

Find the number of sides n

substitute in the formula

[tex]4,500^o=(n-2)180^o[/tex]

[tex]n=27\ sides[/tex]

The number of sides is a whole number

therefore

The given number can be the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon
