5. b) Hence determine the number of sides of the polygon.
Identify the exterior angle.
From part a) (solved previously), we found that . The exterior angle of the polygon is , so the exterior angle is .
Calculate the number of sides.
For any regular polygon, the sum of its exterior angles is . The number of sides () is found by dividing by the measure of one exterior angle.
The number of sides of the polygon is .
Express each line in the form .
For L1:
Isolate the term containing .
Subtract and 12 from both sides of the equation.
Divide by the coefficient of .
Divide every term by .
The equation for L1 in the form is .
For L2:
Isolate the term containing .
Subtract and add 5 to both sides of the equation.
Divide by the coefficient of .
Divide every term by 8.
The equation for L2 in the form is .
