Solution
Let exterior angle = x°
Interior angle = 5x°
x + 5x = 180°
6x = 180°
x = 30°
Each exterior angle = 30°
Each interior angle = 5 x 30° = 150°
Let no. of sides = n
∵ each exterior angle = `360^circ/"n"`
`30^circ = (360^circ)/"n"`
n = `(360^circ)/30^circ`
n = 12
Hence (i) 150° (ii) 30° (iii) 12
