To evaluate the relationship between number of sides and sum of interior angles.
Answer to Problem 7.9.5P
Therelationship between number of sides and the sum of interior angles are not in geometric sequence
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Sum of interior angle of a
Sum of interior angle of a pentagon is 540°
Sum of interior angles of a square is,
On solving,
Triangle has 3 sides and sum of interior angle is 180°
Squarehas 4 sides and sum of interior angle is 360°
Pentagonhas 5 sides and sum of interior angle is 540°
The common ratio between the numbers is not same. Hence, the relationship between number of sides and the sum of interior angles are not in geometric sequence. Rather, the relationship is in an arithmetic sequence, because the common difference is same.
