1. How many exterior angles are there in a n-gon?
Ans: n
--------------------
Are they all considered when using the Polygon Exterior Angles Theorem?
Ans: yes
Sum of exterior angles is always 360 degrees
Each exterior angle is 360/n
each interior angle is the suppliment of an exterior angle
each interior angle is 180-(360/n) = (180n-360)/n
The sum of the n interior angles is 180n-360 = 180(n-2)
---------------------
2. Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of the convex polygon.
10-Gon: 180*8
15-Gon: 180*13
20-Gon: 180*18
