Depends. If it is a regular polygon, then the measure of an interior angle is given by:



Set the expression equal to your given number of degrees and solve for

On the other hand, if it is not a regular polygon, and you have given us absolutely no reason to suspect that it is, all bets are off. You can't tell the how many sides from the measure of one of the interior angles.
