how many sides does a polygon havi if the sum of its interoir angels is 3240
We have a theorem that the sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is equal to (n-2)*180.
So we have:
(n-2)*180 = 3240
180n - 360 = 3240
180n = 3240-360
180n = 2880
Solve the above equation for n.

(n-2)*180 = 3240
n-2 = 18
n = 20
