The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex polygon with+n+sides is
%28n-2%29%2A180+
given: The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon measures 360 degrees
then we have
%28n-2%29%2A180=360+
%28n-2%29=360%2F180+
n-2=2+
n=2%2B2+
n=4+
=> a polygon with 4+ sides is a+quadrilateral

-------------
n = (sum/180) + 2
It's a quadrilateral.
4 sides, 4 angles.
