Each interior angle if a regular polygon measures 172° degrees, how many sides does the polygon have?
The easiest way to solve this problem is to use the outer corners of the polygon. The sum of the exterior and interior angles is 180 degrees. Also, the sum of all exterior angles of a polygon

As you go around the perimeter of this polygon, each side represents a turn to the left (if you are going anticlockwise) or right (if you are going clockwise) of (180 – 172) deg. = 8 deg. A complete revolution represents a turn of 360 deg. So the number of sides = 360/8 = 45.

A regular polygon has an interior angle = 172 deg.
So each exterior angle of the regular polygon = 180–172 = 8 deg.
The number of sides of the regular polygon = 360/8 = 45.
7740 degrees
No. If the angle on the inside measures 8 degrees, then each angle on the outside must measure 172 degrees. Since 360 is more than 172, the polygon must have around 2.1 sides. It is not feasible to have a fractional side.
If one of the inside angles is measured at 172 degrees, then the equivalent outside angle will be measured at 180 degrees minus 172 degrees, which equals 8 degrees. The number of sides is equal to 45 since 360 minus 8 equals 45.
