What is the measure of the point for a star shaped polygon with 8 points and a dent angle of 130 degrees?
How do I work this out?
To find the measure of each point in a star-shaped polygon, you can divide 360 degrees (the sum of the interior angles of any polygon) by the total number of points.
In this case, you have 8 points, so dividing 360 by 8 gives:
360 degrees / 8 points = 45 degrees per point
However, you mentioned a dent angle of 130 degrees. This dent angle affects the measure of each point. To find the final measure, subtract the dent angle from the original measure.
45 degrees per point - 130 degrees dent angle = -85 degrees
In this case, the measure of each point in the star-shaped polygon with 8 points and a dent angle of 130 degrees is -85 degrees.
Note: Negative angles indicate a direction opposite to the initial reference angle.
