We know that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (n – 2) π 

And each angle of polygon = \(\frac{sum\,of\,\,interior\,angles\,of\,polygon}{number\,of\,sides}\)

(i) Pentagon 

Number of sides in pentagon = 5 

Sum of interior angles of pentagon = (5 – 2) π = 3π 

∴ Each angle of pentagon = \(\frac{3π}5\times\frac{180°}π\) = 108°

(ii) Octagon 

Number of sides in octagon = 8 

Sum of interior angles of octagon = (8 – 2) π = 6π 

∴ Each angle of octagon = \(\frac{6π}8\times\frac{180°}π\) = 135°

(iii) Heptagon 

Number of sides in heptagon = 7 

Sum of interior angles of heptagon = (7 – 2) π = 5π 

∴ Each angle of heptagon = \(\frac{5π}7\times\frac{180°}π\) = \(\frac{900}7°\) = 128°34'17"

(iv) Duodecagon 

Number of sides in duodecagon = 12 

Sum of interior angles of duodecagon = (12 – 2) π = 10π 

∴ Each angle of duodecagon = \(\frac{10π}{12}\times\frac{180°}π\) = 150°
