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

Solution:

A regular heptagon has \(7\) sides.

Interior angle of a regular polygon:

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

Substituting \(n=7\):

\[ \frac{(7-2)\times180^\circ}{7} \]

\[ \frac{900^\circ}{7} \]

\[ 128\frac{4}{7}^\circ \]

Now convert into radians:

\[ \frac{900^\circ}{7}\times\frac{\pi}{180^\circ} \]

\[ \frac{5\pi}{7} \]

Therefore, the interior angle of a regular heptagon is:

\[ 128\frac{4}{7}^\circ \text{ or } \frac{5\pi}{7} \text{ radians} \]
