Answer:
Interior angle of polygon of n sides = (n – 2) × 180°/n
Exterior angle of a polygon of n sides = 360°/n
Given, (n – 2) × 180°/n : 360°/n = 5 : 2
=> (n – 2) × 180°/n × 360°/n = 5/2
=> (n – 2)/2 = 5/2
=> 2(n – 2) = 10
=> 2n – 4 = 10
=> 2n = 14
=> n = 7.
Therefore number of sides of the polygon is 7.
