Answer:
3 sides
Step-by-step explanation:
sum of exterior angles for all polygons is 360°
sum of interior angles for a polygon can be found by using the formula:
(n – 2) · 180° where ‘n’ is the number of sides
‘sum of outer angles’ = 360
‘twice the sum of inner angles’ = 2n
360 = 2n
n = 180
a three-sided polygon (triangle) has 180 degrees
6
The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is twice the sum of its exterior angles. Therefore, by solving we get n=6 sides
