Answer:
Sum of interior and exterior angle should be 180°
let us say interior angle = 2x and exterior angle = x
2x+x=180
x = 60°
int angle = 120°
ext angle = 60°
ext angle of a polygon = 360°/n
60 = 360/n
n = 6
polygon has 6 side. so hexagon
Question :
How many sides does a regular polygon have whose interior and exterior angles are in the ratio 2 : 1 ?
(1) 3
(2) 5
(3) 6
(4) 12
Answer:
The Number of sides are 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Ratio of exterior and interior angles = 2 : 1
To find :
The sides of the polygon
Solution :
Let the angles be -
- Interior angle as 2y
- Exterior angle as y
We are familiar with the fact that sum of interior and exterior angles is 180°
⇒ 2y + y = 180
⇒ 3y = 180
⇒ y = 180/3
⇒ y = 60
Exterior angle = 60°
Number of sides -
★ Exterior angle = 360/n (where n is the Number of sides)
⇒ 60 = 360/n
⇒ n = 360/60
⇒ n = 6
Side = 6
The Number of sides are 6.
