Well, the sum of the interior angles of any polygon increase by 180 with every additional side. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Oh, and in case you'd like to know, a 12-sided polygon is called a dodecagon \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "John \n" ); document.write( " |
