QuestionThe diagram shows a regular polygon.
What is the value of xx ? Write your answer as an integer or as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth. x=x=\square^{\circ}

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The polygon in question is a regular polygon, specifically a square.
2. All interior angles of a square are equal.
3. The sum of the interior angles of a square is known.

STEP 2

1. Determine the sum of the interior angles of the square.
2. Calculate the measure of one interior angle of the square.

STEP 3

A square is a regular polygon with four sides. The formula for the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is given by:
(n2)×180 (n-2) \times 180^\circ
where n n is the number of sides. For a square, n=4 n = 4 .

STEP 4

Substitute n=4 n = 4 into the formula:
(42)×180=2×180=360 (4-2) \times 180^\circ = 2 \times 180^\circ = 360^\circ
The sum of the interior angles of a square is 360 360^\circ .

STEP 5

Since a square is a regular polygon, all its interior angles are equal. Divide the sum of the interior angles by the number of sides to find the measure of one interior angle:
3604=90 \frac{360^\circ}{4} = 90^\circ
The value of x x is:
x=90 x = 90^\circ
