Numerical answer

Each interior angle of a regular polygon is 156°. How many diagonals does the polygon have?
Show answer and solution

Answer: 90

Exterior angle = 180° − 156° = 24°. Number of sides n = 360°/24° = 15.

Number of diagonals = n(n − 3)/2 = 15 × 12/2 = 90.

Tip: Always go through the exterior angle — it gives n in one division.
