Answer

It is given that the sum of all interior angles of a regular polygon is 1260°.

According to the properties of a polygon, if there are n sides, the sum of its interior angles is (2n - 4) x 90°.

⇒ (2n - 4) x 90° = 1260°

⇒ (2n - 4) = 1260°90°\dfrac{1260°}{90°}

⇒ 2n - 4 = 14

⇒ 2n = 14 + 4

⇒ 2n = 18

⇒ n = 182\dfrac{18}{2}

⇒ n = 9

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
