If the number of sides of regular polygon be n, then
Each interior angle = (2n - 4) × 90° n And each exterior angle = 360° n
According to question ,∴ (2n - 4) × 90° = 5 × 360° n n
⇒ (2n – 4) = 5 × 4
⇒ 2n – 4 = 20
Correct Option: C

∴ An interior angle of a regular polygon = (2n - 4) × 90° n
Where n = number of sides
Given , The interior angle of a regular polygon = 140∴ (2n - 4) 90° = 140 n
⇒ 9 (2n – 4) = 14n
⇒ 18n – 36 = 14n
⇒ 18n – 14n = 36
⇒ 4n = 36
Correct Option: A
∴ An interior angle of a regular polygon = (2n - 4) × 90° n
Where n = number of sides
Given , The interior angle of a regular polygon = 140∴ (2n - 4) 90° = 140 n
⇒ 9 (2n – 4) = 14n
⇒ 18n – 36 = 14n
⇒ 18n – 14n = 36
⇒ 4n = 36⇒ n = 36 = 9 4

Let Number of sides of regular polygon = n
According to question ,∴ (2n - 4) × 90° - 360° = 132° n n
⇒ 180n – 360 – 360 = 132n
Correct Option: C
Let Number of sides of regular polygon = n
According to question ,∴ (2n - 4) × 90° - 360° = 132° n n
⇒ 180n – 360 – 360 = 132n
⇒ 180n – 132n = 720
⇒ 48n = 720⇒ n = 720 = 15 48

Here , External angle = 20°
Number of sides of a regular polygon (n) = 360 = 18 20
∴ Sum of all interior angles = (2n – 4) × 90°
Correct Option: C
Here , External angle = 20°
Number of sides of a regular polygon (n) = 360 = 18 20
∴ Sum of all interior angles = (2n – 4) × 90°
Sum of all interior angles = (2 × 18 – 4) × 90°
Sum of all interior angles = 32 × 90° = 2880°

Let the number of sides of regular polygon be n.
∴ Sum of all interior angles = (2n – 4) × 90°
According to question ,
The sum of the internal angles = 1440°
⇒ (2n – 4) × 90° = 1440°
⇒ (2n – 4) = 1440° ÷ 90° = 16
⇒ 2n – 4 = 16Correct Option: B
