GIVEN :-
Ratio = 1 : 5
TO FIND :-
No. of Sides.
SOLUTION :-
We know that the sum of one exterior angle and one interior angle is 180° as they form a linear pair. Now lets say that the exterior angle is x°. And it is given that the interior angle are in the ratio 1:5
∴ the interior angle measure will be 5x
Now,
⇒x+5x=180°
6x=180°
x=30°
Now, the sum of exterior angle in polygon = 360°
Let the number of sides be ′n′
∴n × x=360°
n × 30° = 360°
n = 12
∴ The number of sides are 12
Hence, the answer is 12.
