    8th Polygons Solved Questions Paper

    1.Q. Find the number of diagonals in an octagon?

    Ans: Number Of Diagonals Of Polygon = n(n-3) / 2

    Where n is Number Of Sides

    Here n = 8

    Diagonals= [8(8-3)5]/2 = 20

    2.Q. Find the number of sides of a polygon whose each exterior angle is 450 .

    Ans: Measure of Each Exterior Angle of a Polygon = 360/n

    Each Exterior Angle = 45

    45 = 360/n

    Number of Sides = 360/45 =8

    So Number of Sides = 8

    3. Q. The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is 3 times the sum of its exterior angles.
    Determine the number of sides of the polygon.

    Ans: sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is 3 times the sum of its exterior angles.

    We know that in a regular polygon sum of all the exterior angles = 360°

    Therefore, sum of interior angles = 3 × 360° = 1080°

    Again, we have sum of interior angles, S = (n - 2)180°, where n is the number of sides of the
    polygon

    ⇒ (n - 2)180° = 1080°

    ⇒n-2=6

    ⇒n=8

    Hence, the polygon of 8 sides is octagon.

    4. Q. (a) What is the minimum interior angle possible for a regular polygon? Why?
    (b) What is the maximum exterior angle possible for a regular polygon?
    Answer: The polygon with minimum number of sides is a triangle, and each angle of an
    equilateral triangle measures 60°, so 60° is the minimum value of the possible interior angle for
    a regular polygon. For an equilateral triangle the exterior angle is 180°-60°=120° and this is the
    maximum possible value of an exterior angle for a regular polygon.

    5. Q. Find the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon of 9 sides.

    Downloaded from: www.jsuniltutorial.weebly.com/ Page 1


    Ans: Total measure of all exterior angles = 360
    No. of sides = 9
    Measure of each exterior angle = 360/9 = 40

    6.Q. If the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon equals the sum of the
    measures of the exterior angles, how many sides does the polygon have?

    Ans:The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides =(n-2)x1800
    The sum of the exterior angles of any polygon= 3600

    (n-2) x1800 = 3600  n=2+2=4

    7.Q. The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is:(n - 2) × 180° where n is the number
    of sides of the polygon.

    Solution: The sum of its exterior angles of regular polygon= 360°

    The exterior angle of a regular polygon

    Interior angle of a regular polygon = sum of interior angles ÷ number of sides

    8. Q.What is the measure of the each angle of regular Hexagon?

    Ans: No. of sides in regular hexagon = 6

    The measure of the each angle =[(2n – 4)x900 /n ]=[2x6-4]x900/6 =7200 /6 =1200

    9. Q. Find the number of sides of a polygon whose each interior angle is 1560 .

    Ans each exterior angle = 180 - 1560 = 240


    Measure of Each Exterior Angle of a Polygon = 360/n

     240 = 360/n  n = 360/24 =15

    10.Q. Two regular polygons are such that the ratio between their no. of sides is 1:2 and the
    ratio of measures of their interior angle is 3:4. Find the number of sides of each polygon.

    Ans: let the number of sides are x and 2x

    then their interior angles will be [{(2n-4)/n}x900] and [{(4n-4)/n}x900]

    A/Q, the ratio of measures of their interior angle = 3:4

     [{(2n-4)/n}x900]  [{(4n-4)/n}x900] = ¾

    On solving this we get , n=5

    So, the numbers of sides are 5 and 2x5=10
