An interior angle of a regular polygon has a measure of 108°. what type of polygon is it? pentagon hexagon octagon nonagon

Respuesta :

[tex]Exterior \ = \ supplement \\ 180-108 = 72 \\ 360/72 = 5 \\ Polygon \ is \ a \ pentagon.[/tex]

Answer: Pentagon

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, an interior angle of a regular polygon is,

[tex]\frac{(n-2)\times 180^{\circ}}{n}[/tex]

Where n is the number of sides of the polygon,

According to the question,

[tex]\frac{(n-2)\times 180^{\circ}}{n}=108^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]\implies 180n - 360 = 108n[/tex]

[tex]\implies 180 n - 108 n = 360[/tex]

[tex]\implies 72 n = 360[/tex]

[tex]\implies n = 5[/tex]

Thus the number of sides of the given regular polygon is 5,

It is a pentagon.
