The sum of the interior angles of a convex polygon is equal to the sum of the exterior angles. what type of polygon is it?
------------
The sum of the interior angles is (n-2)*180 degrees
The sum of the exterior angles is 360 degrees.
-------------
EQUATION:
(n-2)180 = 360
n-2 = 2
n = 4
----------
It is a quadrilateral.
