Find the measure of each interior angle (in degrees) of a regular polygon of n sides for the following values of n.
(a)
n = 8
°
formula for finding the interior angles of a regular polygon
A = %28180n-360%29%2Fn
n=8
A = 180%288%29-360%29%2F8
A = %281440-360%29%2F8
A = 1080%2F8
A = 135 degrees

(b)
n = 9

Find the measure of each interior angle (in degrees) of a regular polygon of n sides for the following values of n.
(a)
n = 8
=================
The sum of the Exterior angles is always 360 degs.
360/8 = 45 degs Ext
Interior angles = 180 - Ext = 135 degs
=================================================
(b)
n = 9
