An exterior angle of a
regular polygon is 30Λ.
Work out the number of
sides of the polygon.
Exterior angles add up to 360Β°, therefore
360 Γ· 30 = 12
The polygon has 12 sides (Dodecagon)

Four pumps usually empty water
from a tank in 1 hour 36 minutes.
One of the pumps breaks down.
How long will three pumps, working
at the same rate, take to empty the
same tank.
1 hour 36 minutes = 96 minutes
If four pumps take 96 minutes to
empty a tank, that must mean one
pump would take four times as long
