Question
Is it possible to have a regular polygon each of whose interior angles is 100°?
✓
Answer
Each interior angle of a regular polygon having n sides $=180-\Big(\frac{360}{\text{n}}\Big)=\frac{180\text{n}-360}{\text{n}}$ If each interior angle of the polygon is 100°, then: $100=\frac{180\text{n}-360}{\text{n}}$ $\Rightarrow100\text{n}=180\text{n}-360$ $\Rightarrow180\text{n}-100\text{n}=360$ $\Rightarrow80\text{m}=360$ $\Rightarrow\text{n}=\frac{360}{80}=4.5$
