Answer
Let the number of sides of two regular polygons be 3a and 4a.
Sum of interior angles of regular polygons = (n - 2) x 180°
⇒ 3[(3a - 2) x 180°] = 2[(4a - 2) x 180°]
⇒ (9a - 6) x 180° = (8a - 4) x 180°
⇒ 9a - 6 = 8a - 4
⇒ 9a - 8a = 6 - 4
⇒ a = 2
Thus, the number of sides of the polygons are 3a = 3 x 2 = 6 and 4a = 4 x 2 = 8.
Hence, the number of sides in the two polygons are 6 and 8.
