-  An interior angle of a regular polygon is 5 times its exterior angle. Then the number of sides of the polygon is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: CIf 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
 ⇒ 2n = 20 + 4 = 24⇒ n = 24 = 12 2 
-  The interior angle of a regular polygon is 140°. The number of sides of that polygon is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum ∴ 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 
-  In a regular polygon if one of its internal angle is greater than the external angle by 132°, then the number of sides of the polygon is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Let Number of sides of regular polygon = n 
 According to question ,∴ (2n - 4) × 90° - 360° = 132° n n 
 ⇒ 180n – 360 – 360 = 132n
 Correct Option: CLet 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 
-  The sum of all internal angles of a regular polygon whose one external angle is 20° is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: CHere , 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°
-  The sum of the internal angles of a regular polygon is 1440° The number of sides is
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: BLet 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 = 16
 ⇒ 2n = 16 + 4 = 20
 ⇒ n = 20 ÷ 2 = 10
