Question : If a regular polygon has 16 sides, then what is the measure (in degrees) of each interior angle?

Option 1: $154$

Option 2: $157 \frac{1}{2}$

Option 3: $155$

Option 4: $159 \frac{1}{2}$

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $157 \frac{1}{2}$


Solution : Here, the number of sides, $n=16$
According to the question,
Each exterior angle $=\frac{360}{n}=\frac{360}{16}=\frac{45}{2}$
Now,
⇒ Interior angle + Exterior angle = 180
⇒ Interior angle = $180 -  \frac{45}{2}=\frac{315}{2}= 157\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $157\frac{1}{2}$.

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Let $y$ be the cost price.
Loss $= 33\frac{1}{3}$% of $y = \frac{y}{3}$

⇒ $\frac{2y}{3} = \frac{x}{3}$
⇒ Cost price $= y=\frac{x}{2}$
Now, selling price
