Find the magnitude, in radians and degrees, of the interior angle of a regular duodecagon.

Solution:

A regular duodecagon has \(12\) sides.

Interior angle of a regular polygon:

\[ \frac{(n-2)\times180^\circ}{n} \]

Substituting \(n=12\):

\[ \frac{(12-2)\times180^\circ}{12} \]

\[ \frac{10\times180^\circ}{12} \]

\[ 150^\circ \]

Now convert into radians:

\[ 150^\circ \times \frac{\pi}{180^\circ} \]

\[ \frac{5\pi}{6} \]

Therefore, the interior angle of a regular duodecagon is:

\[ 150^\circ \text{ or } \frac{5\pi}{6} \text{ radians} \]
