Starting with the formula for the sum (S) of the interior angles of a convex polygon is given by:
\n" ); document.write( "\"S+=+%28n-2%29%2A180\" where n = the number of sides and in this problem, S = 2880, so...
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28n-2%29180+=+2880\" Divide both sides by 180.
\n" ); document.write( "\"n-2+=+16\" Add 2 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"n+=+18\"
\n" ); document.write( "The polygon has 18 sides.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
