Which one of the following statements is not true ?

  • A.Number of diagonals in a Polygon of 12 sides = 54
  • B.The measure of each exterior angle of regular polygon of 13 sides = 27.69°
  • C.The sum of all interior angles of a polygon with the 9 sides = 1260°
  • D.Each exterior angle of a regular octagon = 60°

Answer: D

The statement that is not true is Each exterior angle of a regular octagon = 60°.

The exterior angles of any polygon add up to 360°, so each exterior angle of a regular octagon is \(360/8 = 45^{\circ}\), not 60° (60° belongs to a regular hexagon).

The other three are correct:

\[ \begin{aligned} \tfrac{12(12 - 3)}{2} &= 54 \text{ diagonals} \\ \tfrac{360}{13} &\approx 27.69^{\circ} \\ (9 - 2) \times 180^{\circ} &= 1260^{\circ} \end{aligned} \]
