Practice Questions

Q1 Calculate the sum of interior angles in a dodecagon (12-sided polygon).
Hint: Sum = (n − 2) × 180°

Sum = (12 − 2) × 180°

Sum = 10 × 180° = 1800°

[1] (12 − 2) × 180 or equivalent
[1] 1800°
Q2 Find the size of each interior angle in a regular nonagon (9 sides).
Hint: Find the exterior angle first: 360° ÷ 9

Exterior = 360° ÷ 9 = 40°

Interior = 180° − 40° = 140°

[1] Correct method
[1] 140°
Q3 A regular polygon has an exterior angle of 24°. How many sides does it have?

n = 360° ÷ exterior angle

n = 360° ÷ 24° = 15 sides

[1] 360 ÷ 24
[1] 15
Q4 A hexagon has angles of 125°, 110°, 98°, 140°, and 140°. Find the sixth angle.

Sum in hexagon = (6 − 2) × 180° = 720°

Known = 125 + 110 + 98 + 140 + 140 = 613°

Sixth angle = 720° − 613° = 107°

[1] Interior sum = 720°
[1] Subtracts known angles
[1] 107°
