Each of the interior angle of a regular polygon is 162°. How many sides has the polygon?

  • A. 8
  • B. 12
  • C. 16
  • D. 20

Correct Answer: D. 20

Explanation

\(\frac{(n - 2)180}{n}\) = 162 (where n = no. of sides)

162n = 180n - 360

162n - 180n = -360

-18n = - 360

n = \(\frac{360}{18}\)

n = 20
