Solution
Let the number of sides in the polygon be n.
∴ (n - 2) x 180° = 7 Right Angles
⇒ (n - 2) x 180° = 7 x 90°
⇒ 180°n - 360° = 630°
⇒ 180°n = 990°
⇒ n = `(990°)/(180°)`
= `(11)/(2)`
= `5(1)/(2)`
Since the number of sides of a polygon cannot be in a fraction, therefore the polygon is not possible.
