Given:-
✓ The figure is of a regular polygon
✓ The interior angle is double the exterior angle
Need to find:-
✓ The sides of the polygon
Solution:-
Sum of exterior angles = 360°
As the interior angles are double the exterior angles, they will be = 2 × 360° = 720°
180° ( n - 2 ) = 720°. ( n = no. of sides )
180n - 360° = 720°
180n = 720° + 360°
180n = 1080°
n = 1080/180
n = 6
Conclusion:-
therefore, the sides of the polygon are 6 and it is a hexagon.
