n
sides. Two of its exterior angles are 72 degrees and 35 degrees, while the remaining exterior angles are each equal to 23 degrees.
Find the value of n .

The sum of exterior angle of a polygon is 3 6 0 ∘ . Let x be the number of exterior angle that measures 2 3 ∘ , then
7 2 + 3 5 + 2 3 x = 3 6 0
2 3 x = 2 5 3
x = 1 1
Therefore, the number of sides is 1 1 + 2 = 1 3 .
Sum of exterior angles is 3 6 0 ∘ . Let there be n sides. So n − 2 angles are 2 3 ∘ . Thus 3 6 0 = 2 3 ( n − 2 ) + 7 2 + 3 5 . Solving we get n = 1 3 .
by finding the supplementary angles of the exterior angles given
we get sum of those 2 interior angles to be 253
WKT , no. of angles = no. of sides
sum of iterior angles of a n-gon is (n-2)*180
it is given that all other exterior angles are 23 degrees so all other interior angles must be 157
now ,
253+157(n-2) = (n-2)*180
by further simplification we get "n" as 13

The sum of exterior angles is 360° 360 - (72+35) = 253° 253/23 = 11 angles of 23° 11 + 2 = 13 sides n = 13
