The formula for the interior angle of a regular polygon is:
where 'x' is the measure of the interior angle and 'n' is the number of sides of the polygon.
In this case, we know that "a regular polygon that has an interior angle of 165.5", so . Plug this in to get
Now solve for 'n'
Round to the nearest whole number to get

I'm thinking there's a typo and the interior angle should be 165.
If so, then...
So if the actual interior angle is 165 degrees, then there are 24 sides.
