Assuming the polygon is regular, each interior angles is of size n 1 2 6 0 . This makes each exterior angle 1 8 0 − n 1 2 6 0 . Now the exterior angles of any polygon add up to 3 6 0 degrees so each exterior angle would be n 3 6 0 . Therefore:
1 8 0 − n 1 2 6 0 = n 3 6 0
1 8 0 n − 1 2 6 0 = 3 6 0
1 8 0 n = 1 6 2 0
n = 9
