Suppose,

The number of sides=n

so, every interior angles= ( 180 × n 2 n ) (180\times \dfrac{n-2}{n})^\circ

So,according to the condition now we get,

180 × n 2 n = 156 180\times \dfrac{n-2}{n}=156

o r , 180 ( n 2 ) = 156 n or,180(n-2)=156n

o r , ( 180 156 ) n = 360 or,(180-156)n=360

o r , 24 n = 360 or,24n=360

o r , n = 360 24 or,n=\dfrac{360}{24}

o r , n = 15 \large\boxed{or,n=15}

Each exterior angle= 180 156 = 24 180-156=24 .we know sum of all exterior angles is 360°.therefore answer is 360 24 = 15 \frac{360}{24}=15

360 ( 180 n ) \frac{360}{(180 - n)} .

360 ( 180 156 = 24 ) \frac{360}{(180 - 156 = 24)} .

360 24 = 15 \frac{360}{24} = 15

\therefore the answer is 15 \boxed{15}

The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is given by s = ( n 2 ) ( 180 ) s=(n-2)(180) where n n is the number of sides. So the measure of one interior angle is s n \dfrac{s}{n} . Then

s n = 156 \dfrac{s}{n}=156 or s = 156 n s=156n

Substituting the above in the formula, we have

156 n = ( n 2 ) ( 180 ) 156n=(n-2)(180)

156 n = 180 n 360 156n=180n-360

24 n = 360 24n=360

n = 15 n=\boxed{15}
