The sum of the interior angles of any n-sided polygon is given by

For the time being, I'm going to call that number , and I leave it to you to calculate the value of .

If the angles are proportional, then all of the angles must have a common factor in their measures. We'll call that common factor . So the first angle is , the second is , and so on. That means we can write:



So once you have figured out the value of S, plug it into the equation and solve for . Then calculate , , and so on. Check your work to make sure that the angles all add up to your value of

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
