\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of \"one\" \"exterior\" angle and \"one\"\"+interior\" angle is \"180\" since they form a linear pair.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the \"exterior\" angle be \"x\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "angles are in ratio \"1%3A5\"; so, the \"interior\" angle is \"5x\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+%2B+5x+=+180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6x+=+180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=30\"...the exterior angle is equal to \"30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the exterior angles of a regular polygon is \"360\"
\n" ); document.write( "So,we multiply the \"exterior\" angle by the number of the sides.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"n+%2A+x+=+360\" where \"n\" is the no. of sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n+%2A+30+=+360+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"+n+=+360%2F30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"n=12\"\r
