Number of sides a regular polygon has.

663 Views Asked by At

The question is "Both tile A and B are regular polygons. Work out the number of sides A has." diagram depicting polygonal tiles

For this I put B is equilateral ∴ all angles are 60.

However, I have no idea where to go from this.

Could anyone give me any tips for solving this and similar questions? Thanks.
