Answer:The interior angle of a polygon is given by

The exterior angle of a polygon is given by

where n is the number of sides of the polygon

The statement

The interior of a regular polygon is 5 times the exterior angle is written as

Solve the equation

That's

Since the denominators are the same we can equate the numerators

That's

180n - 360 = 1800

180n = 1800 + 360

180n = 2160

Divide both sides by 180

n = 12

I).

The interior angle of the polygon is

The answer is

150°

II.

Interior angle + exterior angle = 180

From the question

Interior angle = 150°

So the exterior angle is

Exterior angle = 180 - 150

We have the answer as

30°

III.

The polygon has 12 sides

IV.

The name of the polygon is

Dodecagon
