Find the number of sides of a regular polygon whose interior angle is twice the exterior angle.
The correct answer is A. 6
Let the number of sides of the regular polygon be n.
The interior angle of a regular polygon with n sides is given by the formula:
\(\frac{(n-2)180}{n}\) degrees.
The exterior angle is given by the formula \(\frac{360}{n}\) degrees. Since the interior angle is twice the exterior angle, we have:
\(\frac{(n-2)180}{n} = 2 \times \frac{360}{n}\)
Solving for \(n\), we find that:
n - 2 = 4
n = 6
So, the number of sides of the regular polygon is 6.
