Algebra.Com's Answer #380771 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! sum of the interior angles of an n-sided convex polygon is (n-2)180 degrees \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Your problem: \n" ); document.write( "sum of interior angles = (20-2)*180 = 18*180 = 3240 degrees \n" ); document.write( "================== \n" ); document.write( "Try it with a smaller number of sides to see how it works. \n" ); document.write( "3 sides: (3-2)180 = 180 ; that is a triangle \n" ); document.write( "4 sides: (4-2)180 = 360 ; that could be a square \n" ); document.write( "5 sides: (5-2)180 = 540 ; that could be a pentagon \n" ); document.write( "etc. \n" ); document.write( "=================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
