A regular polygon has 17 sides. What does each side equal?
First, you multiply 17 by 180. But then what do you do?
---------------
The side lengths can be anything > zero.
----
If you're trying to find the interior angles,
The sum of them is 180*(17 - 2) = 2700 degrees
Each angle = 2700/17 degs
=============
The sum of interior angles for any polygon is 180*(n-2) where n is the # of angles.
