find the number of sides of the polygon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Different parts of the given problem CONTRADICT each other.
If a polygon is a regular polygon, then ALL ITS INTERIOR ANGLES are congruent.
In this case, it can not happen that one of the angles is different from other / (others).
The condition in the post is DEFECTIVE.

i believe the answer will be 6.
if the internal angle is 80, then the external angle is 180 - 80 = 100.
so one side of the polygon will have an external angle of 100 degrees.
all the other sides of the triangle will have an external angle of 180 - 128 = 52 degrees.
the sum of the external angles of a polygon is always 360 degrees.
subtract 100 from 360 and you get 260.
divide 260 by 52 and you get 5.
there are 5 sides with an external angle of 52 degrees and 1 side with an external angle of 100 degrees for a total of 6 sides.
