The measure of each (interior) angle in a convex polygon is less than \"180%5Eo\" .
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the measures of all the (interior) angles of a convex polygon with \"n\" sides is
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28n-2%29%2A180%5Eo\"
\n" ); document.write( "Since \"8%2A180%5Eo=1440%5Eo%3C1578%5Eo\" and \"9%2A180%5Eo=1620%5Eo%3E1578%5Eo\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "we know that the polygon must have at least
\n" ); document.write( "\"n-2=9\"<--->\"n=9%2B2=11\" sides.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Could it have \"n%3E=12\"<--->\"n-2%3E=10\" ?
\n" ); document.write( "That would make the sum of the measures of all its angles at least
\n" ); document.write( "\"10%2A180%5E8=1800%5Eo\" , and then, the measure of the remaining interior angle would be at least
\n" ); document.write( "\"1800%5Eo-1578%5Eo=222%5Eo%3E180%5Eo\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Then, \"n-2=9\"<--->\"n=9%2B2=11\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "and the sum of the measures of all the (interior) angles is
\n" ); document.write( "\"9%2A180%5Eo=1620%5Eo%3E1578%5Eo\" .
\n" ); document.write( "The measure of the remaining interior angle is
\n" ); document.write( "\"1620%5Eo-1578%5Eo=highlight%2842%5Eo%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
