Question

In a regular polygon each interior angle is 120 degree grater than each exterior angle. Calculate the number of side of the polygon.

Open in App
Solution

Let exterior angle is x.
Interior angle will be 120+x

interior angle + exterior angle = 180
so x+120+x =180
2x+120 = 180
2x =180-120
2x = 60
x=30 degree.

Exterior angle =30.

Let there are n sides so
n*x = 360
n* 30= 360
n= 360/30
n= 12

so there are 12 sides of polygon.
