Find the number of sides of a regular polygon whose interior angle is twice the exterior angle.

A.

6

B.

2

C.

3

D.

8

Correct Answer: 6

Explanation

Let the ext. angle = x Thus int. angle = 2x But sum of int + ext = 180 (angle of a straight line). 2x + x = 180 3x = 180 x = 180/3 = 60 Each ext angle = 360/n => 60 = 360/n n = 360/60 = 6
