The sum of the exterior of an n-sided convex polygon is half the sum of its interior angle. find n
- A. 6
- B. 8
- C. 9
- D. 12
Correct Answer: A. 6
Explanation
sum of exterior angles = 360o
Sum of interior angle = (n - 2) x 180
360 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x(n - 2) x 180(90o)
360 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x(n - 2) x 90o
\(\frac{360}{90}\) = a - 2
4 = n - 2
n = 4 + 2 = 6
