Question

Find the number of sides in a regular polygon, if its exterior angle is: two-fifth of right angle

Sum

Solution

Each exterior angle = `2/5` of a right angle

`= 2/5 xx 90 ^circ`

= 36°

Let number of sides = n

`therefore 360^circ/"n" = 36^circ`

`therefore "n" = 360^circ/36^circ`

n = 10
