Answer:
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.
