Number of diagonals in an n sided polygon is 2 n ( n − 3 )
2 n ( n − 3 ) n 2 − 3 n ( n − 9 ) ( n + 6 ) ⟹ n = 2 7 = 5 4 = 0 = 9 [ n > 0 ]
The interior angle of an n sided polygon is n ( n − 2 ) 1 8 0
⟹ 9 ( 9 − 2 ) 1 8 0 ( 7 ) ( 2 0 ) 1 4 0
Nice solution,but I can't understand "\[\begin{align} \implies &\dfrac{(9-2)180}{9} \\ & (7)(20) \\ &\boxed{140}
\end{align}\]"

Number of diagonals in a n-sided polygon is: 2 n ( n − 3 ) Therefore, 2 n ( n − 3 ) = 2 7 ⟹ n = 9 The sum of interior angles in a n-sided polygon is: 1 8 0 ( n − 2 ) , divide that by the number of sides, n = 9 . We get: 9 1 8 0 ( 9 − 2 ) = 1 4 0 .
No. of diagonals=((n-3) n)/2=27.this formula will give the value of n,i.e.,the no of sides of the polygon=9.In general the no. of diagonals follow the following pattern (n-3)+(n-3)+(n-4)+(n-5)+....+3+2+1.Now,each interior angle of regular polygon=((n-2) 180)/n=(7*180)/9=140

Assume that the polygon with 27 sides has n sides. So number of diagonals in this polygon are ( 2 n ) − n .
∴ ( 2 n ) − n = 2 7 ⇒ n = 9 .
And interior angle of a regular polygon of n sides = 1 8 0 ∘ − n 3 6 0 ∘ .
Therefore for this polygon of n sides, we have interior angle (putting n = 9 ) equal to 1 4 0 ∘ . □
