(n-2)*180, how many degrees for sum of measures of the interior angles.
\n" ); document.write( "(n-2)*180/n, how may degrees in one interior angle because the polygon has n angles.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28%28n-2%29%2A180%2Fn=162%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Find n.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "180 and 162 are divisible by 18.
\n" ); document.write( "This then is equivalent: \"%28n-2%29%2A10%2Fn=9\"
\n" ); document.write( "(n-2)10=9n
\n" ); document.write( "10n-20=9n
\n" ); document.write( "n=20
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
