Official Explanation
The sum of the measures of the interior angles on an n-sided polygon is given by the formula Angle Sum = \(180(n – 2)\) degrees. A polygon with n sides also has n angles, and if each angle measures 168°, then the sum of all angles equals 168n. So we can set \(180(n – 2) = 168n.\) Distribute 180, and \(180n – 360 = 168n.\) Subtract 168n and add 360 to each side to obtain \(12n = 360.\) Divide by 12, and n = 30, (D).
