Step-by-step explanation:

Regular polygon is one in which each angle and sides is congruent.

Sum of all the exterior angles of any polygon is 360.

Sum of all the  interior angles of any polygon is (2n-4)*90

where is n is the no. of sides of polygon.

Let n be the no. of sides of polygon required

Therefore,

Sum of all the  interior angles of  polygon = (2n-4)*90

since no of sides of polygon is n

therefore, value of each  interior angles of the polygon = (2n-4)*90/n  (A)

Sum of all the exterior angles of any polygon = 360.

value of each  exterior angles of the polygon = 360/n  (B)

Given that

The interior angle of a regular polygon is five times its corresponding exterior angle   (c)

using the statement A, B and C

(2n-4)*90/n = 5*360/n

1/n is common on both side, hence it gets cancelled.

(2n-4)*90 = 5*360

=> (2n-4) = 5*360 /90 = 20

=> 2n = 20+4 = 24

=> n = 24/2 = 12.

the  number of sides of the polygon is 12

answer: sine
