Question 253091: If the sum of the interior angles of a polygon is 2340, how many sides does the polygon have?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
FORMULA: (n-2)180=sum of the interior angles.
Where n=number of angles of a regular polygon.
We know that the sum of the interior angles is 2340
so
(n-2)180=2340 divide both sides by 180 and get
n-2=13 add 2 to both sides and get
n=15 Therefore, this polygon has 15 sides.
