In a certain regular polygon, the measure of each interior angle is ten times the measure of each exterior angle. Find the number of sides in this regular polygon.

Measure of  each interior angle  =  ( n - 2) *180  / 2

 

Measure of  each exterior angle =  360  / n

 

So

 

(n  - 2) 180  /  n      =  10  [  360  / n ]              {  divide out  n  }

 

(n -2)  180  =   3600

 

180n   -  360    = 3600

 

180n   =   3600  +  360

 

180n  =  3960

 

n =  22 sides
