Question

In a regular polygon ,if an exterior and interior angle is in the ration 1:4 find the number of sides of the polygon

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:Let the interior angle of the regular polygon be x.

Therefore, the exterior angle is x/4.

Exterior angle + adjacent interior angle = 180°

x/4 + x. = 180°

5x /4. = 180°

x. = 180° * 4/5

= 144°

The interior angle is 144°.

The exterior angle is 36°.

Let n be the number of sides.

n = 360°/ exterior angle

= 360° / 36°

= 10

Ans.= The number of sides of a regular polygon is 10.
