Solution

Share

Let the number of sides of polygons A and B be n and 2n, respectively.

$$\ \dfrac{\ \ \dfrac{\ \left(n-2\right)180}{n}}{\ \dfrac{\ \left(2n-2\right)180}{2n}}=\dfrac{3}{4}$$

$$\ \dfrac{\ \ \ n-2}{\ \ n-1}=\dfrac{3}{4}$$

$$\ \ \ \ 4n-8=3n-3$$

$$n=5$$

The number of sides of polygon B is 2*5, i.e. 10.
