A convex polygon has n sides. An angle measures S/(2n-5), if S = sum of all the other angles of polygon. What is the measure of the angle?
Solution
The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon is equal to (n - 2)*180 where n is the number of sides.
The convex polygon in the problem has n sides. One angle is S/(2n - 5) and the the sum of the others is S.
We have to determine S/(2n - 5)
S/(2n - 5) + S = (n - 2)*180
=> S + S(2n - 5) = (n - 2)(2n - 5)*180
=> S + 2nS - 5S = (n - 2)(2n - 5)*180
=> -4S + 2nS = (n - 2)(2n - 5)*180
=> S = (n - 2)(2n - 5)*180/(2n - 4)
=> S = (2n - 5)*90
=> S/(2n - 5) = 90
The measure of the angle is 90 degrees
