Sum of all exterior angles of a polygon is 360 and if interior angle is half to exterior angle then the sum of all interior angles is 180. Sum of all interior angles to be 180 is only possible in case of triangle.
Therefore the polygon is triangle.
Therefore the polygon is triangle.

Sum of angles of a regular polygon with n sides = (n-2)*180
Interior angle+ Exterior angle =180
Let x be the interior angle
2x+x = 180
3x =180
x = 60 degrees
Interior angle = 120 degrees (corresponds to a regular hexagon)
To find n in mathematical way
So
n*120 = (n-2)180
120n = 180n -360
60n = 360
n = 6
Number of sides = 6
