A

9

B

11

C

15

D

12

Answer

11

Explanation

Solution

Assume the number of sides of the polygon be nn

The Sum of interior angles of any polygon = (n2)×180=1620(n - 2) ×180 = 1620

= n2=1620180n - 2 = \frac{1620}{180}

= n2=9n - 2 = 9

= n=11n = 11

So, The number of sides of the polygon is 11

The correct option is (B): 11
