Answer:

120 sides

Explanation:

From the information given:

For a regular polygon:

The exterior angle is measured as 3°

To determine the number of sides of the polygon; we need to divide the given value of the exterior angles by 360°

Thus;

= 360°/3°

= 120 sides

Hence, the number of sides of the polygon is 120 sides.
