The general rule for regular polygons as to their interior angles is ((n-2)x180)/n, where n stands for the number of sides of the polygon. So:
((n-2)x180)/n=175
180(n-2)=175n
180n-360=175n
5n=360
n=72
What I am is a 72-sided, regular polygon. ☺☺☺☺

----------
Ext angles = 180 - Int angles = 5 degs
360/5 = 72 sides
