Answer:
Let the number of sides and angles of the polygon be 'n'.
The formula for the sum S of the n interior angles of an n- sided polygon is S=(n−2)×180
0
.
Since the polygon is regular, all its n interior angles are the same.
Therefore the sum of them is n×135
0
=135n
0
.
So, we also have S=135n
0
.
So, setting angels equal as shown below:
(n−2)×180
0
=135n
0
⇒(n−2)×180=135n
⇒180(n−2)=135n
⇒180n−360=135n
⇒180n−135n=360
⇒45n=360
⇒n=8
So, the regular polygon has 8 sides and is therefore, an octagon.
