Regular Polygon Angles

Geometry Level 2

A regular polygon has interior angles of 15 0 150^\circ . A , B , C , D A, B, C, D are 4 consecutive points of this polygon. What is the measure (in degrees) of A D C ? \angle ADC?


The answer is 30.

Since the interior angles are 15 0 150^ \circ , the exterior angles are 18 0 15 0 = 3 0 180^ \circ - 150^ \circ = 30^ \circ , hence the polygon has 360 30 = 12 \frac {360}{30} = 12 sides.

Thus, A D B = 18 0 12 , B D C = 18 0 12 \angle ADB = \frac {180 ^\circ }{12}, \angle BDC = \frac {180 ^\circ }{12} , and so A D C = A D B + B D C = 18 0 × 2 12 = 3 0 \angle ADC = \angle ADB + \angle BDC = \frac {180^\circ \times 2}{12} = 30 ^\circ .

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral so angleADC =180-<B=30 degree
