The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 20 right angles. How many sides does the polygon have?

A.

12

B.

20

C.

40

D.

10

Correct Answer: 12

Explanation

The formula for the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon = (2n - 4) x 90° Given: Sum = 20 right angles (2n - 4) x 90° = 20 times 90° ⇒ 2n - 4 = 20 2n = 24; n = 12.
