We know that internal angle of any polygon is given by ({N-2} X 180)/ N
where N is the number of sides of the polygon.

Hence for N=12, internal angle of the polygon is (12-2)x180/12=150.

Or, answer is Option E.

Solution



Given
In this question, we are given that
    • A polygon with 12 sides, all equal in length

To find
We need to determine
    • The degree measure of an internal angle of that polygon

Approach and Working out
For a regular polygon with n number of sides, sum of all the internal angles = (2n – 4) x 90
Here, n = 12
    • Hence, sum of all angles = (2 x 12 – 4) x 90 = 1800
    • Therefore, measure of each angle = 1800/12 = 150

Thus, option E is the correct answer.

Correct Answer: Option E
