.
Int - Ext = 108,
Int + Ext = 180
---------------------Add the two equations

2*Int = 108 + 180 = 288  ---->  Int =  = 144.


Thus the Interior angle is 144 degs.
Then the Exterior angle is 180 - 144 = 36 degs.


For any convex polygon, the sum of its exterior angles is 360 degs.


Therefore, the number of sides of the polygon is  = 10.


Answer.  n = 10: it is regular decagon.
