A regular polygon has N sides where `N lt 10`. Each of its interior angles is an integer in degrees. How many such polygons are possible ?A. 7B. 6C. 8D. 5

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Sum of the interior angles `=[180(N-2)]^(@)`.
Each interior angle`=[(180(N-2))/(N)]`. For this to be an integer, N must divide `180(N-2)` exactly.
`N lt 10`
`:.`N can be 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 or 8 or 9.
`:.` The polygon ahs 6 possibilities.
Hence, the correct option is (b).

Write the measure of smaller angle formed by the hour and the minute hands of a clock at 7 O’ clock. Also, write the measure of the other angle and also state what types of angles these are.

Answer»

Measure of the required angle = 30° + 30° + 30° + 30° + 30° = 150° 

Measure of the other angle = 360° – 150° = 210° 

Angle of measure 150° is an obtuse angle and that of 210° is a reflex angle.
