Let us assume it is a decagon. The sum of all internal angles is 1440. If the largest angle is 145.The other angles can be 144,143,142,141,140,139,138, 137,136. Total sum is 1405. Hence it cannot be decagon.

Let us assume it is a nonagon. If the largest angle is 145. The other angles can be 144, 143, 142, 141, 140, 139,138 & 128. The total sum of internal angles is 1260. The maximum number of sides is 9. Its largest exterior angle is 520

The internal angles of a polygon are in arithmetic Progression. The smallest angle measures 650 and the
common difference is 18 0 . The number of sides of the polygon is 1) 8 2) 9 3) 10 4) 7 5) 11

(n-1)}=(n-2)180
= 65n+
n(n-1)= (n-2)180
As the value on the right hand side is an integer, (n-1) should be divisible by 8. Hence substituting n= 9 , we get 1260 as the sum of all internal angles of a 9 sided figure.

Medians Points to remember

A median divides a triangle into 2 triangles whose areas are equal Three medians divide the triangle into 6 triangles whose areas are equal. The point of concurrence is called centroid. Centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1
