EACH ANGLE OF A POLYGON IS 160 DEGREE. HOW MANY SIDES DOES IT HAVE?

Since it's a regular polygon, all the interior angles are equal, so they're all 160 degs.
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 180*(n-2). Each angle is the total over n, in this case 160 degs.

160 = 180*(n-2)/n
160n = 180n - 360
-20n = -360
n = 18 sides
