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

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

Measure of an  exterior angle  =  (360)/n

 

Where n is the number of sides

 

So we have that

 

(9)(360)/n  = (n - 2) (180)/n      multiply through by n

 

(9)(360) =  (n - 2) (180)    simplify

 

3240 =  180n - 360

 

3240 + 360  = 180n

 

[3240 + 360 ]  / 180  =   n

 

20   =   n
