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
angles
⇒
sum
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
-
2
180
°
⇒
1440
°
=
n
-
2
180
°
,
where
n
is
the
number
of
sides
⇒
n
-
2
=
1440
°
180
°
⇒
n
-
2
=
8
⇒
n
=
8
+
2
⇒
n
=
10
Also
,
we
know
that
:
number
of
sides
of
the
polygon
=
360
°
each
exterior
angle
⇒
10
=
360
°
each
exterior
angle
⇒
each
exterior
angle
=
36
°
and
exterior
angle
+
interior
angle
=
180
°
⇒
36
°
+
interior
angle
=
180
°
⇒
interior
angle
=
144
°
