Which of the following is/are not the interior angle(s) of a regular polygon?
I.108°
II. 116°
III. 120°
I only
II only
III only
I and III only
Correct answer is B
Using the formula, \((n - 2) \times 180°\) to get the sum of the interior angles. Then we can have
\((n - 2) \times 180° = 108n\) ... (1)
\((n - 2) \times 180° = 116n\) ... (2)
\((n - 2) \times 180° = 120n\) ... (3)
Solving the above given equations, where n is not a positive integer then that angle is not the interior for a regular polygon.
(1): \(180n - 360 = 108n \implies 72n = 360\)
\(n = 5\) (regular pentagon)
(2): \(180n - 360 = 116n \implies 64n = 360\)
\(n = 5.625\)
(3): \(180n - 360 = 120n \implies 60n = 360\)
\(n = 6\) (regular hexagon)
Hence, 116° is not an angle of a regular polygon.
