Answer
Given that a polygon has two right angles and the remaining angles are each 120°, we need to find the number of sides of the polygon, denoted as n.
For a polygon with n sides, the sum of its interior angles is (2n - 4) x 90°.
Accordingly:
⇒ 2 x 90° + (n - 2) x 120° = (2n - 4) x 90°
⇒ 180° + 120°n - 240° = 180°n - 360°
⇒ 120°n - 60° = 180°n - 360°
⇒ 180°n - 120°n = 360° - 60°
⇒ 60°n = 300°
⇒ n =
⇒ n = 5
Hence, the number of sides is 5.
