Question
the face of a watch is a regular polygon. find the measure of each interior angle of the watch face.
Step1: Recall polygon - angle formula
The formula for the measure of each interior angle $\theta$ of a regular polygon with $n$ sides is $\theta=\frac{(n - 2)\times180^{\circ}}{n}$. A watch - face is a dodecagon ($n = 12$).
Step2: Substitute $n = 12$ into the formula
$\theta=\frac{(12 - 2)\times180^{\circ}}{12}=\frac{10\times180^{\circ}}{12}$.
Step3: Calculate the value
$\frac{10\times180^{\circ}}{12}=150^{\circ}$.
