The ANSWER is:  the regular polygons are  a) a regular triangle and b) a regular hexagon (6 sides).



Explanation.  


It can be solved without using any equation/equations.


Indeed, it is clear, that under the given conditions, a regular triangle is the only possible regular polygon 
with the smaller interior angle.


The rest of the solution is OBVIOUS.
