Q. If a pentagon has one angle measuring 120 degrees, what can be inferred about the other angles?
A.
All other angles must also be 120 degrees.
B.
The sum of the other angles must be 360 degrees.
C.
At least one angle must be less than 60 degrees.
D.
The pentagon cannot exist.
Solution
The sum of the interior angles of a pentagon is 540 degrees. If one angle is 120 degrees, the sum of the other four angles must be 540 - 120 = 420 degrees.
Correct Answer:
B
— The sum of the other angles must be 360 degrees.
Q. If a polygon has 10 sides, what is the measure of each interior angle in a regular decagon? (2023)
A.
144 degrees
B.
120 degrees
C.
108 degrees
D.
135 degrees
Solution
The measure of each interior angle in a regular polygon is given by the formula [(n-2) * 180] / n. For a decagon (n=10), it is [(10-2) * 180] / 10 = 144 degrees.
Q. If a polygon has 12 sides, what is the measure of each exterior angle in a regular polygon?
A.
30 degrees
B.
36 degrees
C.
60 degrees
D.
90 degrees
Solution
The measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is calculated as 360/n, where n is the number of sides. For a dodecagon (12 sides), it is 360/12 = 30 degrees.
Q. If a polygon has 12 sides, what is the measure of each exterior angle in a regular dodecagon?
A.
30 degrees
B.
36 degrees
C.
15 degrees
D.
45 degrees
Solution
The measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon can be calculated using the formula 360/n, where n is the number of sides. For a dodecagon (12 sides), it is 360/12 = 30 degrees.
Q. If a polygon has 8 sides, what is the measure of each interior angle in a regular octagon?
A.
135 degrees
B.
120 degrees
C.
108 degrees
D.
150 degrees
Solution
The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon can be calculated using the formula [(n-2) * 180] / n. For an octagon (n=8), it is [(8-2) * 180] / 8 = 135 degrees.
Q. If a quadrilateral has one angle measuring 120 degrees and the other three angles are equal, what is the measure of each of the equal angles?
A.
30 degrees
B.
40 degrees
C.
60 degrees
D.
80 degrees
Solution
The sum of the angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees. If one angle is 120 degrees, the remaining angles must sum to 240 degrees. If the other three angles are equal, each must be 240/3 = 80 degrees.
Q. In a certain polygon, if one angle measures 120 degrees and the polygon is regular, how many sides does it have?
A.
6
B.
5
C.
8
D.
7
Solution
In a regular polygon, each interior angle can be calculated using the formula (n-2) * 180/n. Setting this equal to 120 degrees and solving for n gives n = 6, indicating a hexagon.
Q. In a regular pentagon, what is the measure of each interior angle?
A.
108 degrees
B.
120 degrees
C.
90 degrees
D.
72 degrees
Solution
The measure of each interior angle in a regular pentagon can be calculated using the formula (n-2) * 180 / n, which results in (5-2) * 180 / 5 = 108 degrees.
Q. In the context of geometry, which of the following statements about polygons is true?
A.
All polygons are convex.
B.
A polygon can have an infinite number of sides.
C.
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon increases with the number of sides.
D.
All polygons are regular.
Solution
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by the formula (n-2) * 180 degrees, where n is the number of sides. Therefore, as the number of sides increases, the sum of the interior angles also increases.
Correct Answer:
C
— The sum of the interior angles of a polygon increases with the number of sides.
