The relation of a right angle vertices interior and exterior is 1:4. Where we can work with other ratio that does not have right
angles, if comparing an exterior angle to an interior angle where a ratio 1:3 is found- how many sides does the polygon have.

Answer:
The picture just shows the beginning logic. We now know that we need to find a polygon with an interior angle that has a ratio of 1:3 with its exterior angle.
We can use this formula to find the number of sides of the polygon:
((n-2)×180)/n = 120
(n-2)×180 = 120n
180n - 360 = 120n
60n = 360
n = 6
We now know that the shape has 6 sides with 120 degree interior angles.
A shape with 6 sides is a hexagon.
