Let S be the sum of the interior angles of a polygon P for which each interior angle is 721 times the exterior angle at the same vertex. Then $\textbf{
Pick one
Solution
Let an be the interior angle of the nth vertex, and let bn be the exterior angle of the nth vertex. From the conditions in the problem, an=7.5bn That means a1+a2⋯an=7.5(b1+b2⋯bn) Since the sum of the exterior angles of a polygon is 360∘, the equation can be simplified as a1+a2⋯an=7.5⋅360 a1+a2⋯an=2700 The sum of the interior angles is 2700 degrees. However, there is no other constraint on what angle the interior angles can be, so we can not for sure claim that the polygon is regular or not. Thus, the answer is (E).
