New Math Formula

[Abdullah1441]

Have you ever done those Geometry problems where they ask you to find the legnth of each outside angle (to find it, divide 360 by the number of outside angles) and if you noticed, there isn't a formula (like y=mx+b) so, I decided to make one
nx=360
N= number of outside angles
X= you are solving for X
Using this formula will make finding the angles easier and cleaner
Example: Find the length of each outside angle of a triangle
3x=360
x=120

This is not new, the size of an exterior angle is the sum of the two opposite interior angles for a triangle.
In your case, your triangle is an equilateral.
What about isosceles? Scalene?
Also, the basis of this formula is that the exterior angles of all regular and irregular polygons add up 360°
You have used 2 variables in this formula.
This only works for regular polygons.
All of the exterior angles of the regular polygon are the same, irregular however is different.

Nah, just math.

This is nothing new to me...

I don't study math in English okay

If we were to write your formula as x = 360 / n
Why 360 / n?
The reasoning behind this is that, on a polygon, there are many vertices (plural form of vertex)
A triangle has 3 vertices, 3 sides.
A square has 4 vertices, 4 sides.
See any correlation?
At this vertex, you can form an angle. This angle is known as the exterior angle.
So knowing that the sum of all exterior angles are 360°
We divide it by the number of angles formed from the vertice.
In a triangle's case, this would be 3 angles.
This only works for regular polygons.


Correct me if I'm wrong, wrote this at 0230


tldr : 360/n because coincidence.

I'm trying to write an expiration not a expression
(In a expiration an variable cannot be in equal slot, but you did make a good point)

When do we learn this?
Cause I'm about to learn this o.o
