    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°
    nn

    ⇒ (2n – 4) = 5 × 4
    ⇒ 2n – 4 = 20

    Correct Option: C

    nn

    ⇒ (2n – 4) = 5 × 4
    ⇒ 2n – 4 = 20
    ⇒ 2n = 20 + 4 = 24
    ⇒ n =

    ∴ 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 =

    Let Number of sides of regular polygon = n
    According to question ,

    (2n - 4) × 90°
    -
    360°
    = 132°
    nn

    ⇒ 180n – 360 – 360 = 132n

    Correct Option: C

    Let Number of sides of regular polygon = n
    According to question ,

    (2n - 4) × 90°
    -
    360°
    = 132°
    nn

    ⇒ 180n – 360 – 360 = 132n
    ⇒ 180n – 132n = 720
    ⇒ 48n = 720
    ⇒ n =
    720
    = 15

    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°



  1. The sum of the internal angles of a regular polygon is 1440° The number of sides is

    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 = 16

    Correct Option: B

    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 = 16
    ⇒ 2n = 16 + 4 = 20
    ⇒ n = 20 ÷ 2 = 10
