The sum of one exterior angle and one interior angle is 180° since they form a linear pair. Let the exterior angle be x
angles are in ratio 1:5 ; so, the angle is 5x
Now
x + 5x = 180°
6x = 180°
x = 30°...the exterior angle is equal to 30°.
The sum of the exterior angles of a regular polygon is 360°.
So,we multiply the exterior angle by the number of the sides.
n.x =360° , where 'n' is the no. of sides
n.30 = 360°
n = 360/30 = 12
