A:
B:
C:
D:
Correct Answer
B
Explanation
let the exterior angle be x;therefore interior angle will be 2x2x + x = 180 (sum of angles on a stright line)3x = 180x = 180 /3 = 60number of sides (n) = 360 / exterior angle = 360 /60 = 6 In a regular polygon ,each interior angle doubles its corresponding exterior angle.Find the number of sides of the polygon
