Question 1097500: A polygon has an interior angle sum of 3060. How many sides must the polygon have?

By drawing all the diagonals from one vertex of a (convex) polygon with n sides, the polygon is divided into (n-2) triangles. The angle sum in each triangle is 180 degrees; and the sum of the interior angles of the polygon is the sum of all the angles in all the triangles.
(Draw a few figures of polygons with relatively small numbers of sides to see this, if it helps....)
So the sum of the angle measures of a convex polygon with n sides is .
Your angle sum is 3060 degrees; ; so 17 is (n-2), which means the polygon has 19 sides.
