Let A and B be two regular polygons having a and b sides, respectively. If b = 2a and each interior angle of B is $$\frac{3}{2}$$ times each interior angle of A, then each interior angle, in degrees, of a regular polygon with a + b sides is
Correct Answer: 150
Each interior angle in an n-sided polygon =Β $$\frac{\left(n-2\right)180\ }{n}$$
It is given thatΒ each interior angle of B is $$\frac{3}{2}$$ times each interior angle of A and b = 2a
$$\frac{\left(b-2\right)180\ }{b}$$ =Β $$\ \frac{\ 3}{2}\times\ $$Β $$\frac{\left(a-2\right)180\ }{a}$$
$$2\times\ \left(b-2\right)\times\ a\ =\ 3\times\ \left(a-2\right)\times\ b$$
2(ab-2a) = 3(ab-2b)
ab-6b+4a=0
a*2a-12a+4a=0
$$2a^2-8a=0$$
a(2a-8) = 0
a cannot be zero so 2a=8
a=4, b = 4*2=8
a+b = 12
Each interior angle of a regular polygon with 12 sides =Β $$\ \frac{\ \left(12-2\right)\times\ 180}{12}$$
=150
