Question : The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon A is 1260 degrees and each interior angle of a regular polygon B is $128 \frac{4}{7}$ degrees. The sum of the number of sides of polygons A and B is:
Option 1: 17
Option 2: 16
Option 3: 19
Option 4: 18
Correct Answer: 16
Solution : The sum of the interior angle Polygon A = 1260°
If the sides of the polygon A are nA.
⇒ (nA – 2) × 180° = 1260°
⇒ (nA – 2) = $\frac{1260°}{180°}$ = 7
⇒ nA = (7 + 2) = 9
Each interior angle of a regular polygon B = $\frac{900}{7}$
If the sides of the polygon B are nB.
⇒ 180° × (nB – 2) = $\frac{900}{7}$ × nB
⇒ 180nB – $\frac{900}{7}$ × nB = 360
⇒ $\frac{360}{7}$ × nB = 360
$\therefore$ nB = 7
The sum of sides of polygons A and B = 7 + 9 = 16
Hence, the correct answer is 16.
