Answer
Let n be the number of sides of the polygon.
By formula,
Sum of interior angles of an 'n' sided polygon = (2n - 4) × 90°.
Given,
In the polygon, there are 5 right angles and the remaining angles are equal to 195° each.
∴ 5 × 90° + (n - 5) × 195° = (2n - 4) × 90°
⇒ 450° + 195°.n - 975° = 180°.n - 360°
⇒ 195°.n - 180°.n = 975° - 450° - 360°
⇒ 15°.n = 165°
⇒ n = = 11.
Hence, no. of sides in the polygon = 11.
