the ratio of an interior angle to an exterior angle of a regular polygon is 3:2 what is the number of sides of the polygon?
Answers
7x + 2x = 180
=> x = 20
Exterior angle = 40 degrees
now (exterior angle) = 360/(no. of sides)
solving, you will get no. of sides = 9.

sum of interior and exterior angle of a regular polygon is 180°
interior angle=3x
exterior angle=2x
According to the question,
3x+2x=180
or,5x=180
or,x=180/5(dividing both sides by 5)
or,x=36(solution)
interior angle of the regular polygon=108°
exterior angle of the regular polygon=72°
to find the number of sides we used the formula of sides of regular polygon
the formula is given,
360°/measure of each exterior angle
si the number of sides =360°/72°=5
number of diagonal=n( n-3)/2
=5(5-3)/2
=10/2=5
regular polygon is a type of polygon whose all sides and all angles are equal.
