You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Sum of the interior and exterior angle at the one vertex is 180 degrees for a straight angle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The two angles are v and 3v.
\n" ); document.write( "\"v%2B3v=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4v=180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"v=180%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"v=2%2A3%2A3%2A2%2A5%2F%282%2A2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28v=45%29\"--------the exterior angle. The interior angle is 135 degrees.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " A route of thinking: Starting with a triangle, regular polygon has 180 degrees, sum of the interior angles. Four sides is added another 180 degrees. 5 sides, another 180 degrees.
