Question:

If the sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is 540°. Find the name of the polygon.

Options:

Quadrilateral

Pentagon

Hexagon

Septagon

Correct Answer:

Pentagon

Explanation:

By the angle sum of interior angles of a polygon, if n is the number of sides, then;
Sum of interior angles = (n-2) x 180°
540° = (n – 2) x 180°
n – 2 = \(\frac{540°}{ 180°}\)

n - 2 = 3

n = 3 + 2 = 5

Thus, the polygon is a pentagon.
