Answer:
ratio of exterior angle and interior angle of a regular polygon = 2 : 3
Let exterior angle be 2x and interior angle be 3x.
We know that , each interior angle of a regular polygon = 180° - (exterior angle)
So, 3x = 180° - 2x
5x = 180°
x = 36°,
So, exterior angle = 2*36 = 72°
We know that each exterior angle of a regular polygon = (360/no. of sides of polygon)°
So , 72° = (360/ no.of sides)°
No. Of sides = 360/72 = 5.
