Question 341458: if the sum of the interior angles measure of a polygon is 1440 degrees, how many sides does the polygon have?

The sum of the interior and exterior angle at each vertex = 180 degs
The sum of the exterior angles for ALL polygons = 360 degs
Add 360 to 1440 = 1800 degs
1800/180 = 10 sides
---------------------
The usual method:
Sum of interior angles = 180*(n-2) = 1440
180n - 360 = 1440
180n = 1800
n = 10
-------------
Add 360 to the interior total, divide by 180, either way.
