How many sides does a regular polygon have whose interior and exterior angles are in the ratio 2 : 1?
-
- 3
- 5
- 6
- 12
Correct Option: C
Let interior angle = I and exterior angle = E
According to questions,
= | ⇒ 2E = I.1 or, E = | |||
E | 1 | 2 |
But I + E = 180°
I + | = 180 | |
2 |
I = 180 | |
2 |
I = | × 180 | |
3 |
I = 120°
We know that each interior angle of a regular polygon of n sides is given by
I = | × 180° | |
n |
120° = | × 180° | |
n |
⇒ | = | = | |||
n | 180° | 3 |
⇒ 3n – 6 = 2n ⇒ n = 6
