Each exterior angle= 1 8 0 − 1 5 6 = 2 4 .we know sum of all exterior angles is 360°.therefore answer is 2 4 3 6 0 = 1 5
( 1 8 0 − n ) 3 6 0 .
( 1 8 0 − 1 5 6 = 2 4 ) 3 6 0 .
2 4 3 6 0 = 1 5
∴ the answer is 1 5
The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is given by s = ( n − 2 ) ( 1 8 0 ) where n is the number of sides. So the measure of one interior angle is n s . Then
n s = 1 5 6 or s = 1 5 6 n
Substituting the above in the formula, we have
1 5 6 n = ( n − 2 ) ( 1 8 0 )
1 5 6 n = 1 8 0 n − 3 6 0
2 4 n = 3 6 0
n = 1 5

Suppose,
The number of sides=n
so, every interior angles= ( 1 8 0 × n n − 2 ) ∘
So,according to the condition now we get,
1 8 0 × n n − 2 = 1 5 6
o r , 1 8 0 ( n − 2 ) = 1 5 6 n
o r , ( 1 8 0 − 1 5 6 ) n = 3 6 0
o r , 2 4 n = 3 6 0
o r , n = 2 4 3 6 0
o r , n = 1 5
