Let the interior angle be x degrees and interior angle is 2x degrees.
we know that the sum of interior and exterior angles of a polygon sum to 180 degrees.
x + 2x = 180
on solving we get x = 60 degrees.
Since, exterior of a polygon = 360/no. of sidesĀ
60 = 360/no. of sidesĀ
no. of sides = 360/60
Therefore no. of sides will be 6.
Hope this helps you out.
