Solution

Dear student

We know that sum of the exterior angles in a polygon =360°Given:sum of the interior angles of a polygon=4 sum of the exterior anglessum of the interior angles of a polygon=4×360°sum of the interior angles of a polygon=1440°Also we know that sum of the interior angles of a polygon=n-2180°1440°=n-2180°, where n is the number of sidesn-2=1440°180°n-2=8n=8+2n=10Also, we know that :number of sides of the polygon=360°each exterior angle10=360°each exterior angleeach exterior angle=36°and exterior angle+interior angle=180°36°+interior angle=180°interior angle=144°
