Question
The sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is thrice the sum of its exterior angles. Find the number of sides in the polygon.
Solution
Sum of interior angles = 3 x Sum of exterior angles
Let exterior angle = x
The interior angle = 3x
x + 3x=180°
⇒ 4x = 180°
⇒ x = `180/4`
⇒ x = 45°
Number of sides = `360/45 = 8`
