Question and options

The sum of the interior angles of a convex nn-sided polygon is less than 2019∘2019^\circ. The maximum possible value of nn is
  1. 12
  2. 13
  3. 14
  4. 11

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: B - 13

The maximum is 1313. The interior angles sum to 180(n−2)∘180(n-2)^\circ, so n<2+2019180=13+1360n<2+\frac{2019}{180}=13+\frac{13}{60}. Rounding the bound up gives 1414, whose angle sum is 2160∘2160^\circ.
