A regular polygon has 150∘150^\circ as the size of each interior angle. How many sides has the polygon?

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∘−150∘=30∘180^\circ - 150^\circ = 30^\circ.
  2. The exterior angles add up to 360∘360^\circ, so the number of sides is 360÷30=12360 \div 30 = 12, option A.
