So to solve this, you have to know one of two conditions
1)All Regular polygons exterior angles = 360 degrees
2)Exterior angle is 180-interior angle.
3)Set equation for exterior angles
x=number is sides
4)There are 360 in a regular polygon that has 179 degree interior angles.

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of any polygon is given in degrees by:
)
where 
is either the number of interior angles or the number of sides.
Therefore, the measure, in degrees, of one interior angle of a regular polygon is given by:
}{n})
Hence, for your problem:
}{n}\ =\ 179)
