The ratio of exterior angle to the interior angle of a regular polygon is 1:4. Find the number of sides of the polygon?
Let the interior angle of the regular polygon be x.
Then the exterior angle is x/4.
Exterior angle + adjacent interior angle = 180°

x = 144°
The interior angle is 144°
The exterior angle is 36°
In a regular polygon the exterior angle is equal and the sum of 360°.
Let n be the number of sides
