360/12= 30 degrees
90-30=60 degrees done!

It's 60. Just take 360 which is the sum of all angles of a parrelagram, divided by 12 which is the total sides of 1 coin. The multiply by 2 due to the angles being compounded by 2 coins. (360/12)*2=60

thats a nice approach

Good job Jacob. That's the best way to solve the question. Equilateral triangle solved the question.

60 degrees that didn't take long.I even derived the formula for the interior angle of a regular polygon in the process.

Education on Brazil is shyte and i am from Brazil. You can pick any random kid from here and they will know how to solve this stupid question. What's wrong with you?

this only works BECAUSE the angle is 60 degrees: a triangle with 2 sides equal and the angle between them 60 degrees is automatically equilateral, otherwise the triangle doesn't exists. In the case of a different regular geometric shape the answer doesn't apply, the angle is different and the triangle is isosceles, no matter what you do, so this is not a valid solution for the problem in my opinion… it's only a coincidence, the only valid solution which applies in every other case is 360 – (x*2) where x is the angle between 2 sides of the regular geometric shape, no matter what shape do we talk about :)

360 degrees – (150 * 2) (representing the angles from each side) is the most simple way of approach

360/12=30
