Question 130666
the amount of degrees in a polygon can be solved using the formula 180(n-2) where n is the number of sides. An easy way to remember this formula involves always considering triangles. You know that triangles had 3 sides and 180 degrees, so this formula is applicable. To find the degrees in a six sided polygon, simply plug in 6 for n.

180(n-2)
180(6-2)
180(4)
