Detailed Solution & Logic
2 : 1
Each exterior angle of a regular polygon is $51\frac{3}{7}^\circ$.
Convert to improper fraction:
$51\frac{3}{7} = \frac{360}{7}$
Number of sides of a regular polygon:
$n = \frac{360}{\text{exterior angle}}$
$n = \frac{360}{\frac{360}{7}} = 7$
Number of diagonals of a polygon:
$D = \frac{n(n-3)}{2}$
$D = \frac{7(7-3)}{2}$
$D = \frac{7 \times 4}{2} = 14$
Ratio of diagonals to sides:
14 : 7 = 2 : 1
Answer: 2 : 1
