Find the number of sides of a regular polygon if the sum of the interior angles of the polygon is 7020

n = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Sum of interior angles, S = 720°

Mathematically, the sum of the interior angles in a regular polygon is given by the formula;

S = 180(n - 2)

Where;

n is the number of sides.

S is the sim of the interior angles

720 = 180(n - 2)

720 = 180n - 360

180n = 720 + 360

180n = 1080

n = 6

answer: option a.

step-by-step explanation:

you know that the quadrilateral opqr ( a four sided figure) is inscribed in circle. this means that all its vertices are on the circle.

then, by definition, the opposite angles of the quadrilateral are supplementary, this means that the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

you can observe in the figure that the angles ∠opq   and the angle ∠orq   are opposite, therefore:

then, can be used to d to calculate the measure of ∠opq
