Question

One side of a regular hexagon ABCDEF forms the side of a regular polygon with n sides.

Angle GAF = 105°. Work out the value of n. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angle of a regular hexagon = 120 degrees.

So m < GAB = 360 - 120 - 105

= 135 degrees so the regular polygon has a total of 135n degrees.

Using the formula for the sum of interior angles of a polygon,

For the polygon with n sides:

Sum of interior angles = 180(n - 2)

135n = 180(n - 2)

135n = 180n - 360

45n = 360

n = 360/45 = 8.
