The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the number of sides of the polygon with more sides based on the given ratios of sides and internal angles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Ratios Given**: - The ratio of the sides of the two polygons is 1:2. Let the number of sides of the first polygon be \( N_1 = x \) and the second polygon be \( N_2 = 2x \). - The ratio of their internal angles is 2:3. 2. **Formula for Internal Angles**: - The formula for the internal angle \( A \) of a regular polygon with \( N \) sides is given by: \[ A = \frac{180(N - 2)}{N} \] 3. **Set Up the Equation for Internal Angles**: - For the first polygon: \[ A_1 = \frac{180(x - 2)}{x} \] - For the second polygon: \[ A_2 = \frac{180(2x - 2)}{2x} \] 4. **Set Up the Ratio of Internal Angles**: - According to the problem, the ratio of the internal angles is 2:3: \[ \frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{2}{3} \] - Substitute the expressions for \( A_1 \) and \( A_2 \): \[ \frac{\frac{180(x - 2)}{x}}{\frac{180(2x - 2)}{2x}} = \frac{2}{3} \] 5. **Simplify the Equation**: - Cancel out \( 180 \) and simplify: \[ \frac{(x - 2) \cdot 2x}{x(2x - 2)} = \frac{2}{3} \] - This simplifies to: \[ \frac{2x(x - 2)}{x(2x - 2)} = \frac{2}{3} \] - Further simplifying gives: \[ \frac{2(x - 2)}{2x - 2} = \frac{2}{3} \] 6. **Cross Multiply**: - Cross multiplying yields: \[ 3 \cdot 2(x - 2) = 2(2x - 2) \] - Expanding both sides results in: \[ 6x - 12 = 4x - 4 \] 7. **Solve for \( x \)**: - Rearranging gives: \[ 6x - 4x = 12 - 4 \] \[ 2x = 8 \] \[ x = 4 \] 8. **Find the Number of Sides**: - Now, we can find \( N_1 \) and \( N_2 \): \[ N_1 = x = 4 \] \[ N_2 = 2x = 2 \cdot 4 = 8 \] 9. **Conclusion**: - The polygon with more sides has \( N_2 = 8 \) sides. ### Final Answer: The number of sides of the polygon having more sides is **8**.
