Question
The sum of interior angles of a regular polygon is twice the sum of its exterior angles. Find the number of sides of the polygon.

Solution
Let number of sides = n
Sum of exterior angles = 360°
Sum of interior angles = 360° x 2 = 720°
Sum of interior angles = (n – 2) x 180°
720° = (n – 2) x 180°
n – 2 =`720/180`
n – 2 = 4
n = 4 + 2
n = 6
