For N-sided polygon,

sum of interior angles is (2n-4)*90 degrees

also Pi radians = 180 degrees

a) pentagon (n=5)

sum of interior angles = 540 deg

since its regular pentagon, each interior angle is same = 540/5 =108 degres = 1.884 radians

b) hexagon (n=6)

sum of interior angles = 720 deg

since its regular hexagon, each interior angle is same = 720/6 =120 degres = 2.093 radians

c) octagon (n=8)

sum of interior angles = 1080 deg

since its regular hexagon, each interior angle is same = 1080/8 =135 degres = 2.355 radians

d) polygon (n=15)

sum of interior angles = 2340 deg

since its regular hexagon, each interior angle is same = 2340/15 =156 degres = 2.721 radians
