Question 31.

Let A and B be two regular polygons having a and b sides, respectively. If b = 2a and each interior angle of B is 32\frac{3}{2} times each interior angle of A, then each interior angle, in degrees, of a regular polygon with a + b sides is

A
B
C
D

Question Explanation

Text Explanation

Each interior angle in an nn-sided polygon =(n2)180n= \frac{(n-2)180}{n}

It is given that each interior angle of BB is 32\frac{3}{2} times each interior angle of AA and b=2ab = 2a

(b2)180b\frac{(b-2)180}{b}=32×(a2)180a\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{(a-2)180}{a}

2(b-2)a = 3(a-2)b

2(ab - 2a) = 3(ab - 2b)

ab - 6b + 4a = 0

a2a12a+4a=0a \cdot 2a - 12a + 4a = 0

2a28a=02a^{2} - 8a = 0

a(2a - 8) = 0

aa cannot be zero, so 2a=82a = 8

a=4,b=4×2=8a = 4,\quad b = 4 \times 2 = 8

a + b = 12

Each interior angle of a regular polygon with 1212 sides:

=(122)×18012=150= \frac{(12 - 2)\times 180}{12} = 150
