the ratio of an interior angle to exterior angle of regular polygon is 5:1 find number of sides
Answers
Answer:
GIVEN :-
• the ratio of an interior angle to exterior angle of regular polygon is 5:1
RTF :-
• number of sides
SOLUTION :-
let's take interrior and exterior angle as 5x and 1x
we know the the sum of exterior and interior angle is 180°
so, 5x + x = 180°
6x = 180°
x =
x = 30°
now interrior angle = 5x = 5×30° = 150°
exterior angle = x = 30°
NOW SIDES OF POLYGON
to find sides first we have to subtract interrior angle from 180° and divide by 360°
= 180° - 150°
= 30°
now divide with 360°
=
= 6 sides
therefore, this polygon have 6 sides

SOLUTION :-
let's take interrior and exterior angle as 5x and 1x
we know the the sum of exterior and interior angle is 180°
so, 5x + x = 180°
6x = 180°
x =
6
180
x = 30°
now interrior angle = 5x = 5×30° = 150°
exterior angle = x = 30°
NOW SIDES OF POLYGON
to find sides first we have to subtract interrior angle from 180° and divide by 360°
= 180° - 150°
= 30°
now divide with 360°
=
30
360°
= 6 sides
therefore, this polygon have 6 sides
