Solution
Let the number of sides in the first polygon be 5x and the number of sides in the second polygon be 4x.
We know:
Angle of an n-sided regular polygon = \[\left( \frac{n - 2}{n} \right)180^\circ\]
Thus, we have:
Angle of the first polygon = \[\left( \frac{5x - 2}{5x} \right)180^\circ\]
Angle of the second polygon = \[\left( \frac{4x - 2}{4x} \right)180^\circ\]
Now,
\[\left( \frac{5x - 2}{5x} \right)180 - \left( \frac{4x - 2}{4x} \right)180 = 9\]
\[ \Rightarrow 180\left( \frac{4(5x - 2) - 5(4x - 2)}{20x} \right) = 9\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{20x - 8 - 20x + 10}{20x} = \frac{9}{180}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{2}{20x} = \frac{1}{20}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{2}{x} = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow x = 2\]
Thus, we have:
Number of sides in the first polygon = 5x = 10
Number of sides in the second polygon = 4x = 8

Let the angles of the quadrilateral be \[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ \text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\]
We know: \[a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a - 2d = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4a = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 90\]
We have:
Greatest angle = 120°
Now,
\[a + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 90 + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3d = 30\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 10\]
Hence,
\[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ\text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\] are
