1. **State the problem:** We need to find the number of sides $n$ of a regular polygon whose interior angle is $150^\circ$.
2. **Formula used:** The measure of each interior angle $I$ of a regular polygon with $n$ sides is given by:
$$I = \frac{(n-2) \times 180}{n}$$
3. **Substitute the given interior angle:**
$$150 = \frac{(n-2) \times 180}{n}$$
4. **Solve for $n$:**
Multiply both sides by $n$:
$$150n = 180(n-2)$$
Expand the right side:
$$150n = 180n - 360$$
Bring all terms to one side:
$$150n - 180n = -360$$
Simplify:
$$-30n = -360$$
Divide both sides by $-30$:
$$n = \frac{-360}{-30} = 12$$
5. **Interpretation:** The polygon has $12$ sides.
**Final answer:** The polygon is a dodecagon with $12$ sides.
