Polygon Angles 3F6532
1. The problem asks to calculate the value of $n$ and the interior angles of two regular polygons with sides $n-1$ and $n$ respectively, given that the sum of their interior angles is in the ratio 2:3.
2. Recall the formula for the sum of interior angles of a polygon with $k$ sides:
$$\text{Sum of interior angles} = (k-2) \times 180^\circ$$
3. Let the sum of interior angles of the polygon with $n-1$ sides be $S_1$ and that of the polygon with $n$ sides be $S_2$.
4. Using the formula:
$$S_1 = (n-1 - 2) \times 180 = (n-3) \times 180$$
$$S_2 = (n - 2) \times 180$$
5. Given the ratio:
$$\frac{S_1}{S_2} = \frac{2}{3}$$
6. Substitute the sums:
$$\frac{(n-3) \times 180}{(n-2) \times 180} = \frac{2}{3}$$
7. Simplify by canceling 180:
$$\frac{n-3}{n-2} = \frac{2}{3}$$
8. Cross multiply:
$$3(n-3) = 2(n-2)$$
$$3n - 9 = 2n - 4$$
9. Solve for $n$:
$$3n - 2n = -4 + 9$$
$$n = 5$$
10. Now find the interior angles of each polygon.
11. For polygon with $n-1 = 4$ sides (a square):
$$\text{Interior angle} = \frac{(4-2) \times 180}{4} = \frac{2 \times 180}{4} = 90^\circ$$
12. For polygon with $n = 5$ sides (a regular pentagon):
$$\text{Interior angle} = \frac{(5-2) \times 180}{5} = \frac{3 \times 180}{5} = 108^\circ$$
13. Final answers:
- $n = 5$
- Interior angle of polygon with $4$ sides is $90^\circ$
- Interior angle of polygon with $5$ sides is $108^\circ$
