Question 9 • EHS New Credit Topics in Geometry

An interior angle of a regular polygon has a measure of 120°. What type of polygon is it?

Answer
A
decagon
B
hexagon
C
quadrilateral
D
octagon

Explanation

For a regular polygon with n sides, each interior angle measures 180° − 360°/n. Set this equal to 120°: 180 − 360/n = 120, so 360/n = 60 and n = 6. A six-sided polygon is a hexagon.
