The number of sides of a regular polygon

Question:

The number of sides of a regular polygon whose each interior angle is of 135o is

(a) 6

(b) 7

(c) 8

(d) 9

Solution:

Now let us assume number of sides of a regular polygon be n.

WKT, sum of all exterior angles of all polygons is equal to 360o.

Form the question it is given that each exterior angle has a measure of 45o.

Then,

n = 360o/Exterior angle

n = 360o/(180o – 135o)

n = 360o/45o

n = 8
