QUESTION :

How many sides does a regular polygon have whose interior and exterior angles are in the ratio 2 : 1 ?

(1) 3

(2) 5

(3) 6

(4) 12

Answer:

The Number of sides are 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Ratio of exterior and interior angles = 2 : 1

To find :

The sides of the polygon

Solution :

Let the angles be -

  • Interior angle as 2y
  • Exterior angle as y

We are familiar with the fact that SUM of interior and exterior angles is 180°

⇒ 2y + y = 180

3Y = 180

⇒ y = 180/3

⇒ y = 60

Exterior angle = 60°

\rule{300}{1.5}

Number of sides -

Exterior angle = 360/N (where n is the Number of sides)

⇒ 60 = 360/n

⇒ n = 360/60

⇒ n = 6

Side = 6

\therefore The Number of sides are 6.
