1. Problem Description

We are given that each interior angle of a regular polygon is 168168^{\circ}. We need to find the number of sides of the polygon.

2. Solution Steps

Let nn be the number of sides of the regular polygon.
The measure of each interior angle of a regular nn-sided polygon is given by the formula:
Interior angle=(n2)×180n \text{Interior angle} = \frac{(n-2) \times 180^{\circ}}{n}
We are given that the interior angle is 168168^{\circ}. So we have:
(n2)×180n=168 \frac{(n-2) \times 180}{n} = 168
Multiply both sides by nn:
(n2)×180=168n (n-2) \times 180 = 168n
180n360=168n 180n - 360 = 168n
Subtract 168n168n from both sides:
180n168n360=0 180n - 168n - 360 = 0
12n360=0 12n - 360 = 0
Add 360360 to both sides:
12n=360 12n = 360
Divide both sides by 1212:
n=36012 n = \frac{360}{12}
n=30 n = 30
Therefore, the number of sides of the polygon is
3
0.
