Q:
what is the measure of one of the interior angles of the regular heptagon? (round the answer to the nearest whole number.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:
The sum of the angles of any n-sided polygon is 180(n - 2) degrees.
A Heptagon has n sides, so the sum of its angles is equal to 180(7 - 2) degrees = 900°. The measure of each angle of a regular heptagon is equal to 900/7 ≈ highlight%28129%29 degrees (to the nearest whole number)
