Let x be the interior angle. Hence exterior angle = (180-x)
 
we are given that   x : (180-x) = 5:1   hence begin mathsize 12px style fraction numerator x over denominator 180 minus x end fraction space equals space 5 space space o r space 900 space minus 5 x space equals space x space space o r space space x space equals space 150 end style
hence interior angle is 150°.
 
if a regular polygon has n sides, then interior angle = [(n-2)×180] / n  = 150 ...............(1)
By solving eqn.(1), we get n = 12
