sum of all interior angles of a regular polygon =(2n-4)*90 degrees
each interior angle =(2n-4)*90/n=say x....if exterior angle is y
, we have x+y=180..but we were given that interior angle(x)=thrice exterior angle(y) or....x=3y..hence x+y=3y+y=180..or 4y=180..or..y=180/4=45
hence interior angle =x=3y=3*45=135
so (2n-4)*90/n=135
180n-360=135n
180n-135n=360
45n=360
n=360/45=8
hence it is an octagon with 8 sides
hope this helps
