The sum of the exterior angles of any convex polygon is

Hence the measure of one exterior angle of an -sided regular polygon is

Twice this value plus is then

The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon is given by , so the measure of one interior angle of a regular polygon is

So, for this polygon:

Solve for

The measure of an interior angle of an equiangular polygon is 45 more than two times the measure of one of the polygon's exterior angles. How many sides does the polygon have?
============================
Int = 2*Ext + 45
Int + Ext = 180
---
2Ext+45 + Ext = 180
Ext = 45
# of sides = 360/45 = 8

The measure of an interior angle of an equiangular polygon is 45 more than two times the measure of one of the polygon's exterior angles. How many sides does the polygon have?

Let measure of an exterior angle be E
Then measure of an interior angle = 2E + 45
We then get: E + 2E + 45 = 180
3E = 135
Measure of an exterior angle, or
With each exterior angle being 45^o, number of sides/angles of the polygon is
