    If the measure of each angle of a regular polygon is \[60{}^\circ \], what is the name of the polygon?

    A)  Quadrilateral             

    B)  Hexagon

    C)  Pentagon        

    D)           Triangle

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

         We know that in a polygon, ext. angle + int. angle = \[180{}^\circ \] \[ext.\text{ }angle\text{ }+\text{ }60{}^\circ \text{ }=\text{ }180{}^\circ \] \[Ext.\text{ }angle\text{ }=\text{ }180{}^\circ -60{}^\circ \text{ }=120{}^\circ \] No. of sides of polygon \[=\frac{{{360}^{o}}}{\text{Ext}\text{.}\,\text{angle}}\] \[=\frac{{{360}^{\text{o}}}}{{{120}^{\text{o}}}}=3\] A three sided polygon is called triangle.
