A regular polygon of nn sides has 160∘160^\circ as the size of each interior angle. Find nn.

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. An interior angle and its exterior angle add up to 180∘180^\circ, so each exterior angle is 180∘−160∘=20∘180^\circ - 160^\circ = 20^\circ.
  2. The exterior angles add up to 360∘360^\circ, so n=360÷20=18n = 360 \div 20 = 18, option A.
