Answer:

The polygon has 15 sides

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a Regular Polygon

A polygon with n sides has a total sum of internal angles equal to 180°(n-2). This means that in a regular polygon, each angle measures

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{180(n-2)}{n}[/tex]

The regular polygon's interior angle is 156°, thus

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{180(n-2)}{n}=156[/tex]

Multiply by n:

[tex]180(n-2)=156n[/tex]

Operate:

[tex]180n-360=156n[/tex]

Reducing:

[tex]24n=360[/tex]

Solving:

[tex]n=15[/tex]

The polygon has 15 sides
