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°.
Sum of exterior angles of a polygon = 360°.
Given,
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is four times the sum of its exterior angles.
⇒ (2n - 4) × 90° = 4 × 360°
⇒ (2n - 4) =
⇒ (2n - 4) = 4 × 4
⇒ 2n - 4 = 16
⇒ 2n = 16 + 4
⇒ 2n = 20
⇒ n = = 10.
Hence, number of sides in polygon = 10.
