Assume that the polygon with 27 sides has n n sides. So number of diagonals in this polygon are ( n 2 ) n \binom{n}{2} - n .

( n 2 ) n = 27 n = 9 \therefore \binom{n}{2} - n=27 \Rightarrow n=9 .

And interior angle of a regular polygon of n n sides = 18 0 36 0 n =180^\circ -\frac{360^\circ}{n} .

Therefore for this polygon of n n sides, we have interior angle (putting n = 9 n=9 ) equal to 14 0 . 140^\circ . \square

Number of diagonals in an n n sided polygon is n ( n 3 ) 2 \dfrac{n(n-3)}{2}

n ( n 3 ) 2 = 27 n 2 3 n = 54 ( n 9 ) ( n + 6 ) = 0 n = 9 [ n > 0 ] \begin{aligned} \dfrac{n(n-3)}{2} & = 27 \\ n^2 -3n &= 54 \\ (n-9)(n+6)&= 0 \\ \implies n&= 9 &[n>0] \end{aligned}

The interior angle of an n n sided polygon is ( n 2 ) 180 n \dfrac{(n-2)180}{n}

( 9 2 ) 180 9 ( 7 ) ( 20 ) 140 \begin{aligned} \implies &\dfrac{(9-2)180}{9} \\ & (7)(20) \\ &\boxed{140} \end{aligned}

Nice solution,but I can't understand "\[\begin{align} \implies &\dfrac{(9-2)180}{9} \\ & (7)(20) \\ &\boxed{140}

\end{align}\]"

Number of diagonals in a n-sided polygon is: n ( n 3 ) 2 \frac{n(n-3)}{2} Therefore, n ( n 3 ) 2 = 27 n = 9 \frac{n(n-3)}{2} = 27 \Longrightarrow n = 9 The sum of interior angles in a n-sided polygon is: 180 ( n 2 ) 180(n-2) , divide that by the number of sides, n = 9 n=9 . We get: 180 ( 9 2 ) 9 = 140 \frac{180(9-2)}{9}=140 .

No. of diagonals=((n-3) n)/2=27.this formula will give the value of n,i.e.,the no of sides of the polygon=9.In general the no. of diagonals follow the following pattern (n-3)+(n-3)+(n-4)+(n-5)+....+3+2+1.Now,each interior angle of regular polygon=((n-2) 180)/n=(7*180)/9=140
